The current build script creates dmg files for the desktop app that, when downloaded from GitHub/shared via Slack, show the following error for M chip Macs:

"BioFile Finder" is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image. This item is on the disk image "BioFile Finder-8.0.0-arm64.dmg

This PR updates desktop/package.json to what was used to get the v8.0.0 build working for arm64 (also currently works for x86, though only when run on a computer with an Intel chip).
Also adds info to the dev docs about how we currently build & release for MacOS.

For more details on why we have to do separate builds for Mac, see #173
