meson build fails on Apple M1 Mac

[poetaman]

Meson build fails on macOS Apple M1 devices. The reason I tried this is: 1) The osxfuse/sshfs repository points to this as the "latest" version: https://github.com/osxfuse/sshfs#latest-version, 2) osxfuse website has a binary that works only on PowerPC+Intel as per the screenshot below. Is macOS destined to work only with sshfs 2.5.0? Here's a related issue on osx/sshfs: https://github.com/osxfuse/sshfs/issues/69

Thanks for the report. Note that SSHFS 3.x requires libfuse3, which isn't (yet?) available for MacOS.
