Should be instructive command output when an M1 model is requested #60

For example in https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier/issues/59, there'll never be a BootCamp package available. We should handle this with some explanatory text.

We can of course check for Apple Silicon architecture if that's the model we're running on, but I wonder if we can consult some other external database or feed to check if a hardware model ID is an Apple Silicon machine, to handle the case from something like #59.

One simple place to check would be the DFU or Recovery keys in MobileDeviceProductTypes in https://mesu.apple.com/assets/macos/com_apple_macOSIPSW/com_apple_macOSIPSW.xml:
