Missing Apple M1 support when installing the required tooling

[mablanco]

When running the make asdf_install command to install the required tooling in an Apple M1-based laptop you eventually get the meesage Sadly, there are no official releases for your architecture twice, indicating that there are tools that are not being installed.

This is the context log of those messages:

Creating bin directory

It seems that the message belongs to asdf itself. This allows to narrow the investigation to asdf plugins.

I've uninstalled all asdf plugins and run make asdf_install, getting again the error message twice. According to the context, it seems to be related to the plugins between initium and helm ones. Although all the plugins are installed successfully, the tool installation step is the one failing for two specific plugins.

After sorting the list of tools in the .tool-versions files, the only one between initium and helm is jq. After removing it from the file, the make asdf_install commands works without error messages.

Further investigation has led me to discover that the asdf jq plugin is unable to download arm64 versions even though they exist (you just have to use brew install jq to check this). In fact, if I add jq back to the tools list and previously install jq by other means, the make asdf_install process detects it and does not throw any error messages.

Confirmed: the problem is in the jq plugin itself as it doesn't consider arm64 as a valid architecture, even though the corresponding binaries are available (https://api.github.com/repos/jqlang/jq/releases). See https://github.com/AZMCode/asdf-jq/blob/9c7fc4e6874e8f2aa22f592161c04b303c9bde81/bin/download#L30

We should bump jq to version 1.7 anyway, as arm64 support was added to this version: jqlang/jq#2386
