support arm64

[dann frazier]

[Impact]
Package doesn't build/work on arm64

[Test Case]
$ sudo apt-get install vnc4server icewm
$ vncpasswd
 < set password >
$ cat > ~/.vnc/xstartup << EOF
#!/bin/sh

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm &
icewm &
EOF
$ chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup
$ vnc4server
<connect to vncserver from remote host>

[Regression Risk]
The additional code required to build a functional vnc4 package for arm64 happens to all be under "#if defined (__aarch64__)" macros, so there's no impact to already-supported architectures.
