Native Apple Silicon (arm64/universal2) macOS build

[rakleed]

Could you please add a native Apple Silicon build for macOS (arm64, ideally a universal2 binary: arm64 + x86_64)?

Right now the macOS release is Intel-only, so on M-series Macs it runs via Rosetta 2. That means users must install Rosetta 2 to run the app, and there’s no official way to uninstall Rosetta 2 afterward.

Apple Developer docs on how to build/port for Apple silicon (universal binaries, arm64):

• Porting your macOS apps to Apple silicon
• Building a universal macOS binary

last time i checked its not possible, some dependencies we use are amd64 only.

@WillyJL could you please take a look at #258?
