fix(workflow): improve Arch Linux package installation process

The workflow for building and publishing to Arch Linux has been updated to
enhance the package installation process. This includes adding multiple
mirror sources to ensure reliability and implementing retry logic for
package installation attempts.

- Removed dependency on the Windows publish job
- Added backup mirrors for Arch Linux package management
- Implemented retry logic for package installation failures
