feat(runner): Replace patch by install ICU package for ARM runners (p…

…hilips-labs#1624)

* Update arm-runner-patch.tpl 

The runtimeconfig.json files seem to have changed on the latest Amazon Linux AMI.
When running the user data scripts, the patch of these files fails which causes initialization of the runner instance to fail.

* fix patch again

* install libicu60 instead of patching

* remove arm-patch

* Revert "remove arm-patch"

This reverts commit 639c46e.

* Add ARM64 documentation

* Remove arm-runner-patch.tpl and include in install-runner.sh

* add arm64, ephemeral and windows examples to github workflow

# Action runners deployment with ARM64 architecture

This module shows how to create GitHub action runners using AWS Graviton instances which have ARM64 architecture. Lambda release will be downloaded from GitHub.

## Usages

Steps for the full setup, such as creating a GitHub app can be found in the root module's [README](../../README.md). First download the Lambda releases from GitHub. Alternatively you can build the lambdas locally with Node or Docker, there is a simple build script in `<root>/.ci/build.sh`. In the `main.tf` you can simply remove the location of the lambda zip files, the default location will work in this case.

> Ensure you have set the version in `lambdas-download/main.tf` for running the example. The version needs to be set to a GitHub release version, see https://github.com/philips-labs/terraform-aws-github-runner/releases
```bash
cd lambdas-download
terraform init
terraform apply
cd ..
```

Before running Terraform, ensure the GitHub app is configured. See the [configuration details](../../README.md#usages) for more details.

```bash
terraform init
terraform apply
```

You can receive the webhook details by running:

```bash
terraform output -raw webhook_secret
```

Be-aware some shells will print some end of line character `%`.
