Add support for Apple Silicon

[jonlonergan]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe: I'm running homebridge on an Apple silicon Mac mini. Its architecture is arm64. The package works when homebridge is running in Rosetta on Node.js 14, but doesn't work in Node.js 16 running natively on Apple silicon because that architecture is not supported.

Describe the solution you'd like: Build a package for Mac arm64 and add arm64 to the supported architecture list.

Describe alternatives you've considered: I tried building ffmpeg-for-homebridge from a recent pull request that adds Apple silicon support but ran into errors compiling. Though I must admit, I'm new to compiling and could be missing something.

currently this is the only possible way till #29 is merged.

@jonlonergan for the time being if you want to manually download the ffmpeg-darwin-arm64 and move it to the /usr/local/bin folder. That will work on Apple Silicon. Just tested on Mac mini m1 myself.

Thank you very much - this helped fix the problem I was experiencing.

Hey @jonlonergan

I would download this ffmpeg file and would replace it, since the other one is intel based and uses rosetta 2 where this is built for apple silicon. Trying to get this implemented into the repo.

It seems #29 was merged in? Is that true?
