[PD] Availability of ELSE v.1.0-0_rc8 external for Raspberry Pi 400 (ARM)

[Linux ROUEN Normandie]

* I have forgotten but I also use [else/keyboard], so at least Else rc8, 
where some bugs have been fixed, is needed.

* Regarding armv6 (32-bit), armv7(32-bit) and armv8 (64-bit), you should 
discuss it with the developers having the right knowledge about them.

With RPi OS 11 32-bit, Pd Vanilla 0.54.0 / Deken 0.9.4 / Else gives 
today the same result for both:
-User defined platform: Linux-armv7-32

     i.e. else 1.0-0_rc6-with_live_electronics_tutorial 2023-05-12 20:17:02
- Platform by defaut: Linux-armv6-32

     i.e. else 1.0-0_rc6-with_live_electronics_tutorial 2023-05-12 20:17:02

* The use of the RPi OS 11 64-bit (armv8) will gain in popularity over 
the years as the following machines are 64-bit compatible: RPi Zero 2, 
RPi 3, RPi 4/4B (up to 8 GB RAM) and RPi 400 (4 GB RAM).
So, I think if Else Arm 64-bit is different from Arm 32-bit, yes you 
could / should take care about it.

Thanks.
