Apple Silicon, Electron 11 compatibility

[alectrocute]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

To build for Apple’s newly released ARM platform, I’m under the impression we’ll need Electron 11. Without this, end users on said hardware cannot open distributed Electron apps.

Describe the solution you'd like

If Electron 11 isn’t currently supported, I would love to see it supported so we can migrate and support flagship Apple hardware in production.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternative build flow/packager, but would like to avoid that.

This plugin supports Electron 11 just fine afaik, I just haven't added it as an option to the generator because Spectron (Electron's testing framework) is broken for versions 10+. Usually, Spectron is updated soon after the Electron release, but it seems like they are really slacking this time around, see electron-userland/spectron#720. I may just have to add it to the generator anyway with a note about the lack of testing support.

As for Apple Silicon support, this plugin should support it as soon as electron-builder and electron do. I won't be getting an apple silicon device so I won't be able to test it myself to confirm, however.
