Replace Kokoro ARM build with GitHub Actions

The Kokoro aarch64 build runs on x86 with an emulator, and has always
been flaky due to the slow execution speed. At present it is continually
failing due to deadline exceededs. GitHub Actions is running on aarch64
hardware, so is much faster (4 minutes vs 30 minutes, without including
the speedup from GitHub Action's caching).
