fix: use jq 1.7.1 to support arm64 runners dcarbone/install-jq-action@v3.2.0 routes jq 1.5/1.6 installs through scripts/unixish.sh, which only maps Linux binaries for 386/amd64 since jq 1.6 (stedolan/jq) never published a linux-arm64 release asset. This causes this action to fail on arm64 runners with: Cannot handle "ARM64" architecture for os "Linux" dcarbone/install-jq-action added arm64 support starting with jq 1.7, routed through scripts/unixish-17.sh (jqlang/jq releases, which do publish jq-linux-arm64). Bumping the pinned jq version to 1.7.1 (the installer action's own default) fixes arm64 support without changing the installer action version. Fixes #68

This action fails on arm64 GitHub-hosted / self-hosted runners with:
Root cause:
dcarbone/install-jq-action@v3.2.0routesjq1.5/1.6 installs throughscripts/unixish.sh, which only maps Linux binaries for386/amd64. This is becausejq1.6 (published understedolan/jq) never shipped alinux-arm64release asset — arm64 support only arrived withjq1.7 (published underjqlang/jq), which does publish ajq-linux-arm64asset.dcarbone/install-jq-actionalready added arm64 support forjq1.7+ viascripts/unixish-17.sh— this action just needs to request a 1.7+ version to use that code path.1.7.1is used here (rather than plain1.7) because it's the patch release fixing known regressions in the initial1.7release, and it matchesinstall-jq-action's own defaultversioninput.Resolves #68.
