Build x64 MSI installers when targeting the arm64 architecture. This results in an x64 MSI installer that installs an arm64 version of the application.

An x64 MSI installer is an improvement because building arm64 MSI targets errors with:

error CNDL0264 : The parameter 'arch' is missing or has an invalid value arm64.
Possible values are x86, x64, or ia64.

This is a stopgap until the electron-builder-binaries wix version is upgraded to a version that supports arm64 which is currently blocked by a number of breaking changes between 4.0.0.5512.2 and 4.0.1. This upgrade is discussed in #6077.
