This PR creates the new CI Build Jobs `arm64-01` and `x86_64-01`. The new jobs will split and offload the Arm64 and x86_64 Build Targets from `other`. This will reduce our usage of GitHub Runners, to comply with the ASF Policy for GitHub Actions. (Recently we see more PRs for Arm64 and x86_64)
Before the Split: Simple PRs (One Arch and/or One Board) for Arm64 and x86_64 require almost 1 hour for CI Build
- `other` (57 mins): AVR, SPARC, x86, PinePhone, QEMU Arm64, QEMU x86_64
After the Split: Simple PRs for Arm64 and x86_64 will complete under 30 mins
- `other` (24 mins): AVR, SPARC, x86
- `arm64-01` (29 mins): PinePhone, QEMU Arm64
- `x86_64-01` (9 mins): QEMU x86_64
To skip more unnecessary builds: Our Build Rules `arch.yml` shall ignore the label "Area: Documentation", so that a Simple PR + Docs is still a Simple PR. Previously we experienced longer CI Build Times, just because we added docs to our Simple PR. (Now our PR shall be built exactly like a Simple PR)
The updated CI code is explained here: https://github.com/apache/nuttx/issues/13775

Summary:
Arm64 support for NuttX, Features supported:
1. Cortex-a53 single core and SMP support: it's can run into nsh shell at
qemu virt machine.
2. qemu-a53 board configuration support: it's only for evaluate propose
3. FPU support for armv8-a: FPU context switching at NEON/floating-point
TRAP is supported.
4. psci interface, armv8 cache operation(data cache) and smccc support.
5. fix mass code style issue, thank for @xiaoxiang781216, @hartmannathan @pkarashchenko
Please refer to boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-a53/README.txt for detail
Note:
1. GCC MACOS issue
The GCC 11.2 toolchain for MACOS may get crash while compiling
float operation function, the following link describe the issue
and give analyse at the issue:
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5825
it's seem GCC give a wrong instruction at certain machine which
without architecture features
the new toolchain is not available still, so just disable the MACOS
cibuild check at present
