Build VisIt natively on darwin arm64 (aka Apple M1, Apple Silicon) #18474

Get build_visit working on darwin arm64.

Assuming I will loose my older apply x86_64 system this year, we will need to build VisIt from an M1 Mac for both x86_64 and separately for arm64 and/or produce a universal binary (which I don't think would be ideal because it would double the size of the bistro). In theory starting from a shell that is running native arm64 or running x86_64 should be sufficient to get one or the other.
