Fix page size for Linux AArch64 native executables (#875)

Graal Native Image is assuming 4k page size here, which is a naughty assumption to make in the modern Linux-on-ARM landscape.
Two very common hardware configurations require 16k minumum page size: the Raspberry Pi 5 and Asahi Linux (running on Apple Silicon hardware).

This change forces 64k pages for Linux/AArch64 native executables to guarantee compatibility with these platforms.
DEVELOPMENT.adoc is also updated to cover the additional dependencies required for building native executables on Linux.
