AppImage: enable ARM builds

Amy spark requested to merge lsegovia/krita:work/amyspark/appimage-arm into krita/4.3

This MR enables building and packaging Krita for ARM-based platforms.

These commits:

  • replaces hardcoded x86_64 paths by dynamic detection of the compiler triplet and architecture
  • fixes libheif to build in ARM:
    • updates the bundled version to 3.4 to allow armhf builds
    • disables high bit depth support in aarch64, as it's (still) broken

Test Plan

Follow the build process in https://www.amyspark.me/blog/posts/2020/07/15/compiling-krita-for-arm.html.

WARNING: The whole build is expected to take at least 12 hours fully multithreaded in QEMU.

Formalities Checklist

  • I confirmed Krita ran and the relevant functions work.
