AWS drs: Add AWS Graviton arm64 source server support to DRS Linux docs
Summary
Adds a new 'AWS Graviton source servers' section explaining arm64 support for AWS-to-AWS recovery, notes the architecture-specific agent installer, and adds a general note pointing to that section.
Security assessment
The change documents supported CPU architectures and installer selection for the replication agent; it is operational guidance with no security vulnerability or control implications.
Evidence
+`arm64` is the 64-bit Arm processor architecture used by AWS Graviton processors. AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery supports `arm64` source servers that run on AWS Graviton-based Amazon EC2 instances and recover to AWS. Elastic Disaster Recovery supports `arm64` only for AWS-to-AWS recovery. Source servers in on-premises environments or other clouds must use `x86_64`.
