Cask M1 Emacs doesn't ship with SVG render support

M1 Emacs doesn't ship with SVG render support. There are some build flags with libsvg to support rendering in the buffer, but would need to re-install emacs or build from source.

out of cask, svg is working:

The cask formula just downloads from emacsformacosx, which is part of the problem. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/c5ae3285a70367cd322e56caa61112bed675065f/Casks/emacs.rb

I installed emacs plus via brew:

brew install emacs-plus --with-imagemagick --with-native-comp --with-mailutils --with-debug --with-dbus --with-ctags

and it confirms to work. There is no fix (AFAIK) to the cask install unless we revisit the entire cask formula or until emacsformac gets updated with a new binary that supports svg.

Emacs 30 is better on dealing with SVG (emacs-plus):

GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin22.1.0, NS appkit-2299.00
 Version 13.0.1 (Build 22A400)) of 2022-11-29

that's awesome.

@suliveevil I added your working svg into the README! Thanks for providing the screenshot above.

I'm glad I could help. 🤗

19 provides a workaround that should work on most systems.
