OpenWrt qemu docker container for arm64

Based on the great works of https://github.com/qemus/qemu-docker. Thanks!

QEMU in a docker container for running arm64 virtual machines. Tested on Raspberry Pi 5.

It uses high-performance QEMU options (like KVM acceleration, kernel-mode networking, IO threading, etc.) to achieve near-native speed.
