undergroundwires d25c4e8c81 Add support for macOS universal binary #348 , #362

This commit introduces a universal binary format in the distributed MDG
files for macOS, improving support for both Apple Silicon (ARM) and
Intel (x64) architectures.

It uses `electron-builder` to package both architectures into a single
executable, ensuring the application can natively on any macOS hardware
without depending on the GitHub runners' architecture. It fixes the
issue related to prior releases that supported only the architecture of
the build environment itself, which is subject to change.

Changes:

- Update DMG distribution to include both ARM64 and x64 architectures.
- Enhance system requirements documentation to reflect support for both
  architectures.
- Modify CI/CD workflows to check desktop runtime errors for both ARM64
  and x64 versions on macOS.

Resolves:

- Issue #348: Initial request for Apple Silicon support.
- Issue #362: Correction of distribution limited to ARM64 in release
  0.13.3.

`electron-builder` support:
- electron-userland/electron-builder#5475
- electron-userland/electron-builder#5689
- electron-userland/electron-builder#5426

System Requirements for the Desktop Version

The following system requirements are the official ones for the desktop version. While we have tested and confirmed these requirements, the application might also work on other systems or configurations that haven't undergone official testing.

Windows

Version: Windows 10 and later.
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 or later.
Architecture: 64-bit (x86-64), ARM (ARM64).

⚠️ Compatibility Note: ARM version is only compatible with Windows 11 and later. It runs non-natively, leading to slower performance due to emulation 1.

macOS

Version: macOS Catalina (10.15) and later.
Architecture: Intel-based (x86-64), Apple silicon (ARM64).

Linux

Version: Ubuntu 18.04 and later, Fedora 32 and later, and Debian 10 and later.
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 or later.
Architecture: 64-bit (x86-64).

System requirements reflect Electron's platform capabilities 2 and Chromium's recommended configurations 3.
