Use Apple Silicon runners once available #15

This would let us produce proper dependency archives (the current ones cannot really be used to compile Mixxx on arm64 hosts since the Qt tools are still built for x86_64 in CI).

Might I make a suggestion here? You can try the FlyCI's M1 and M2 runners which are on average about 2x faster and 2x cheaper than GitHub's runners . We also offer a free tier of 500 mins/month on the M1 runner for OSS projects.

@radeva Thanks, but I am very happy with GitHub's runners. Please don't ping people under technical discussions with promo or ads.

radeva commented 8 months ago

@fwcd I apologise about that. We're just trying to solve the problems that people have around runners.
