🐛 Replace musl-cross with zig cc wrappers for arm64 cross-compile 🐛

Browse Source 
musl-cross does not exist in any Alpine package repo (main, community,
or edge) — both attempts to install it failed at build time.
Zig ships with Alpine (`apk add zig`) and bundles its own musl headers
and stdlib for every target triple, making it a drop-in replacement for
a musl cross-toolchain with zero external dependencies.
Three wrapper scripts are created at install time:
/usr/local/bin/aarch64-linux-musl-gcc → zig cc -target aarch64-linux-musl
/usr/local/bin/aarch64-linux-musl-g++ → zig c++ -target aarch64-linux-musl
/usr/local/bin/aarch64-linux-musl-ar → zig ar
The CARGO_TARGET_AARCH64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_MUSL_LINKER and CC_*/CXX_*/AR_*
env vars are unchanged — they still point to aarch64-linux-musl-gcc,
which now resolves to the zig wrapper.
- Dockerfile: replace musl-cross apk install with zig + wrapper scripts
