This commit does nothing for *running* on Apple Silicon.

This is about *building* FreeBSD *from macOS* on Apple Silicon. Some people want cross-builds from anything to work.

These things are completely orthogonal.

Someone working on the *running* part would generally have no reason to build FreeBSD on macOS specifically.
