configure/config.sub should be updated to recognise arm64-apple

[dim...@gmail.com]

Hi,

trying to build fricas 1.3.11 on macOS arm64 machine,
(with up to date Conda tools:

clang version 18.1.8
Target: arm64-apple-darwin24.3.0

and sbcl 2.4.0)

in up to date conda installation, ends very quickly with

% ./configure
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `arm64-apple-darwin20.0.0': machine `arm64-apple' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh ./config/config.sub arm64-apple-darwin20.0.0 failed

Running more or less up to date autotools (autoconf 2.71, etc)

autoreconf -ivf

fixes ./configure, and the build goes smoothly, building working FriCAS
(good enough to pass all tests in SageMath).

Best,
Dima

PS. It's not the 1st time I request refreshing ./configure etc.
Your config.sub is over 10 years old accoring to the
timestamp='2014-09-11'.
Please use up to date autotools for releases. E.g. your config.sub
doesn't seem to know riscv, too.

This is fixed in the trunk.
