What
A very small PR that changes the README instructions for arm64 macOS.
Reasons
The macOS build instruction were outdated since the developers of Wine Crossover officially removed their binary from the brew packages since it's no longer maintained. In this PR I take for granted that every macOS user has Rosetta 2 (s a macOS component that automatically translates Intel-based) already installed.
Testing Done
Verified from a clean clone on macOS:
python3 configure.py [args]ninja(up to checksum validation)Problems encountered

But I'm not really sure to add this in the README too.
