Wheel support for linux aarch64[arm64]

[odidev]

Summary
Installing netifaces on aarch64 via pip using command "pip3 install netifaces" tries to build wheel from source code

Problem description
netifaces doesn't have wheel for aarch64 on PyPI repository. So, while installing netifaces via pip on aarch64, pip builds wheel for same resulting in it takes more time to install netifaces. Making wheel available for aarch64 will benefit aarch64 users by minimizing netifaces installation time.

Expected Output
Pip should be able to download netifaces wheel from PyPI repository rather than building it from source code.

@netifaces-team, please let me know if I can help you building wheel/uploading to PyPI repository. I am curious to make netifaces wheel available for aarch64. It will be a great opportunity for me to work with you.

Manylinux2014 ensures that the wheel is built against the AArch64 v8.0 specification. All AArch64 platforms in the v8 series maintain backward compatibility with v8.0. So a binary built for v8.0 can run on any v8 platform. Enabling aarch64 wheel support will benefit arm v8 series users by reducing installation time. @al45tair, can you please let me know if you have any interest in releasing aarch64 wheels?

arm64 wheels are a great idea. The main issue is that I won't be able to do much more to netifaces due to a job change. netifaces will need a new maintainer, as a result.
