Part of #18

What to build

The end-to-end tests compare packages with zixl-dump and look inside them with zixl-info, rather than msidump and msiinfo. msitools stays only to build wixl's packages and as the cross-check from the other tickets.

Acceptance criteria

compare.sh, upgrade.sh and build-step.sh use zixl's tools.
arm64 packages, which msitools cannot build, get the same table checks from zixl's tools that the other architectures get.
The README and CONTRIBUTING describe the tools and the tests as they are.

Done in b9e6042, green in CI run 18.

compare.sh reads tables with zixl-dump and cabinets with zixl-info. upgrade.sh and the build-step check use zixl-info, and the latter no longer needs msitools.
arm64 packages now get the table checks second hand: their tables must equal the x64 package's, apart from the template's platform and the installer version (at least 500).
msitools remains only to build wixl's packages and as the cross-check on the reader.
