CRAN had asked me to switch the .Platform$pkgType to just "arm64" instead of "clang-aarch64". So I updated that in the daily installers of R-devel and R-patched. However now r-lib/actions fails to install pak:

Warning: unable to access index for repository https://r-lib.github.io/p/pak/devel/windows.binary.arm64/mingw32/aarch64/src/contrib

e.g. https://github.com/r-rust/hellorust/actions/runs/38278710718

So we add the symlinks, keeping the old ones as well for now.

Newer Windows arm64 builds of R (R-next and R-devel) use the
windows.binary.arm64 package type instead of
windows.binary.clang-aarch64, so installing pak from the
pkgType/os/arch repo URL failed with a 404.
