Added support for ARM64/OpenCL (RC5-72) and ARM64 (OGR-NG & ANSI RC5-72) on macOS 11 (Apple Silicon)

[ShadowLive]

Added support for Apple Silicon ARM64/OPENCL (RC5-72).

Added support for Apple Silicon ARM64 (RC5-72 ANSI).

Slower than AMD64 under Rosetta 2 as ScalarFusion Core not functional on Apple ARM64 at this time.

Notes:

• Confirmed it compiles using Clang 12.
  Apple clang version 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.27)
  Target: arm64-apple-darwin20.1.0

• Confirmed all tests passed using './dnetc -test'

• Updated temperature.cpp to allow ARM64 but have not confirmed temperature can be read on Apple Silicon.

Still to do:

• Get ARM64 ScalarFusion functional on MacOS.
• Get Temperature reading on Apple Silicon.
• CPUINFO can not currently be read by ARM64 client.

The current ARM64 core shipping in the private branch is MONIKA, which has replaced the (slow) ScalarFusion. MONIKA's performance is shaky on some cores (it works well on Kryo, poorly on licensable cores) but if you'd like to get in touch about making it work, feel free to hop on the IRC channel.

I got the monika core going, here are the results:
