Cannot load extensions for ARM64

Hi Dave

I found a problem that crash built for ARM64 and running on an X86_64 cannot load extensions as the type for the shared object is not accepted. There is a fix for this for ARM running on X86 that has to be introduced in case as well.
Function is_shared_object in file symbol.c

                                                       case EM_X86_64:
                                                                                  if (machine_type("X86_64")) 
                                                                                                             return TRUE;
                                                                                  break;

should be changed to

                                                       case EM_X86_64:
                                                                                  if (machine_type("X86_64") || machine_type("ARM64")) 
                                                                                                             return TRUE;
                                                                                  break;
