[marius adrian popa]

I have committed to both 3.0 and 2.5 branches
Here is the 2.5 list of patches (you can diff it with the release branch)

https://sourceforge.net/p/firebird/code/60195/
https://sourceforge.net/p/firebird/code/60198/
https://sourceforge.net/p/firebird/code/60201/


In the last patch I have add an ARM64 define twice in common.h , but
corrected after that
