Request for linux_arm64 build

[tusv]

BUSINESS PROBLEM
We are using docker desktop on Apple Silicon mac to build linux images with arm64. Terraform itself supports linux_arm64 and most of the providers we use also support it with an exception of venafi.

PROPOSED SOLUTION
Build the provider for linux_arm64 architecture and make it available via terraform registry.

CURRENT ALTERNATIVES
As a workaround we are able to hack provider installation by creating a file system mirror with a manual copy of linux_amd64 folder for venafi named as linux_arm64 and using that mirror specifically for venafi.

VENAFI EXPERIENCE
Using Venafi for last 3+ years to manage both public and private server certificates.

Following steps worked for me

1. Build this repo for linux arm64 arch

git clone --branch v0.16.1 --single-branch https://github.com/Venafi/terraform-provider-venafi.git

GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 go build -o terraform-provider-venafi_v0.16.1

2. Place the build artifact as below under .terraform dir

3. Set the plugin dir as env variable for terraform

TF_PLUGIN_CACHE_DIR=/workspace/terraform/infra/platform/.terraform/plugins
