I can think of one more approach... assuming the stockfish-16.1-x86-64
binary will run on anything x86_64 (because it doesn't have
fancy CPU-specific optimizations), pre-create the symlink to that
one. Advise the user that the other engines exist (in the README)
and give a short set of instructions on how to choose the right one
(basically as simple as, rm the symlink, run the engine as root once).

This way, people who just install it without paying much attention
will at least get a working (if unoptimized) package.
