GitHub recently announced ARM support when using their public runners:
https://github.blog/changelog/2025-01-16-linux-arm64-hosted-runners-now-available-for-free-in-public-repositories-public-preview/

This means we don't need to use the custom runner group for ARM CI jobs any more, which have a slower boot time, since they don't have a warm slack pool of machines.

For example the CI run in #320 has been waiting for 11 mins for a runner to be available:

Waiting for a runner to pick up this job...
