If the user provides default as the value of the arch input, use the runner machine's architecture (#263)

* If the user provides `default` as the value of the `arch` input, use the runner machine's architecture

* `npm run build`

* Convert the key `processedArchInput` to lower case before indexing into the `archSynonyms` dict

* `npm run build`
