fix: configure cross-compilation environment for OpenSSL and RocksDB (#140)

* fix: configure cross-compilation environment for OpenSSL and RocksDB

- Add setup-cross-build action to configure Docker images with OpenSSL
  dev headers for ARM64 Linux cross-compilation
- Add cross_image to Linux matrix entries for custom Docker builds
- Add Prepare RocksDB build env step for bindgen/libclang on Linux
- Add permissions: contents: write for release asset uploads
- Update checkout to v4 and rust-cache to v2
- Use pinned RUST_VERSION instead of stable

* bump forc-node to 0.71.1
