[Feature]: Distribute native ARM MacOS executables #930

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently, running aqtinstall on ARM MacOS requires using Rosetta 2 as only an x86_64 build is distributed via releases.

This works fine for now, but Apple has previously announced that Rosetta 2 is going to be removed from MacOS in 2027, meaning that relying on this translation layer isn't sustainable going forward, and aqtinstall will eventually stop working on ARM MacOS.

The solution

Distributing a native ARM executable would resolve this issue, as running aqtinstall would no longer depend on this deprecated translation layer.
