Help Wantedfeature-request

Description

Bulk of the work to support Windows ARM64 is done. The only feature that will help is if CefSharp could also be compiled for .NET Framework ARM64 support.

It should merely be recompiling the managed components and the managed C++ components but leaving the rest of the native parts unchanged.

This will allow applications that are running on .NET Framework 4.8.1 on Windows 11 ARM64 to work flawlessly.

Research direction
Explore the CefSharp build scripts and project files to identify where ARM64 build configurations are missing. Focus on the managed C++ and C# projects that need recompilation for .NET Framework 4.8.1 on ARM64. Check existing issues or PRs for any related work. After implementing, test the build on a Windows 11 ARM64 machine to ensure functionality.
