Packaging

NOTE: Special workaround for MacOS: the self-contained build of PNut-TS does not run on MacOS. I'm studying why.

• I've packaged an alternative version that requires an external install of node.js to run.
• If you don't have Node.js installed on your Mac:
  • Download the prebuilt Node.js installer for Mac from Download Node.js®.
    • I've tested with v20.17.0 (LTS) on macOS running Arm64, and it just works.
• If you already have Node.js installed, don't download a new install; use what you have.
  • PNut-TS should run on v16.20.2, v18.20.4 (LTS), and v20.17.0 (LTS)
  • If you don't have one of these versions, you may want to upgrade to the v20.17.0 version.
• Lastly, download my .zip, unpack it to .dmg, and follow my installation instructions.

We need our compiler to be reliable. Having a compiler dependent upon external parts is not good, so I'd like to solve this soon and get us back to using a standalone executable.
