ARMv7 has been unsupported in GHC for a while. Even the available bindists cause [frequent segfaults for compiled programs in my own CI](https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-hs/actions/runs/12793629356/job/35671577401?pr=1214#step:6:8142).

Unlike GHC, GHCup has to support historical versions as well, though. So we can’t just go with whatever latest GHC decides.

But I’m not sure I want to invest more time into this. People using ARMv7 could still use an older GHCup.
