support for m1 architecture based macs

[HawkingRadiation42]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] tried using pyobjc for my project and ran into an error. figured that pyobjc currently doesnt support m1 mac after going through your documentation.

request feature: title

and for the curious minds the error i found was:

My previous response through e-mail didn't work (I was traveling at the time).

PyObjC supports Apple Silicon (M-series CPUs) just fine and has supported them since they have been available, and even earlier because the port was done using developer hardware.

The error is because pyttsx3 apparently tries to use the objc module without importing it and that's a problem for that library and not for PyObjC.

Thank you for your response, will check it out with pyttsx3
