Hello,

I have created a patch that adds support for building Postgres for the
windows/arm64 platform using the MSVC toolchain. Following changes have
been included

1. Extend MSVC scripts to handle ARM64 platform.
2. Add arm64 definition of spin_delay function.
3. Exclude arm_acle.h import with MSVC compiler.

Compilation steps are consistent and similar to other windows platforms.

The change has been tested on windows/x86_64 and windows/arm64 and all
regression tests passes on both platforms.

Thanks,
Niyas
