go-ipfs does not start without Rosetta on Apple Silicon

[lidel]

Description

IPFS activation is broken when macOS on Apple Silicon has no Rosetta installed.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Brave for Apple Silicon on new macOS 11.2 or later (eg. M1 Mac Mini) without Rosetta
2. Try activating local go-ipfs

Actual result:

Get error as seen below:

Expected result:

Run without error.

Reproduces how often:

Always.

Brave version

Nightly v1.28.74

Fix suggestions

I believe there are two ways to fix this:

• User should either get a prompt to install Rosetta (like they already do when amd64 version of Brave is about to be run on ARM) or similar meaningful error that points the user at an issue with macOS (current one suggest Brave/IPFS is at fault).
• Brave build for arm64 should use arm64 binary for go-ipfs (right now it seems to use amd64, which fails when Rosetta is missing)

[lidel]

IPFS project is aiming at having signed arm64 binaries for go-ipfs 0.10.
I suggest we park this until then, and use them on Apple Silicon, so there is no need for Rosetta.

@lidel is it possible to tell brave to use a specific binary for go-ipfs instead of downloading it? This way I could just point it to the already installed Apple Silicon variant

/EDIT: Oh actually there is! It's just not exposed in the UI. Editing the Brave preferences file (binary_path) directly works.

Brave running with Apple Silicon built ipfs as local node:

Verified PASSED using

Brave	1.32.66 Chromium: 95.0.4638.40 (Official Build) nightly (arm64)
Revision	e3e7c76ba0284b16087cf4cf3153abfaef6470c7-refs/branch-heads/4638@{#624}
OS	macOS Version 11.6 (Build 20G165)

Steps:

1. new profile
2. launched Brave using --use-dev-goupdater-url
3. loaded ipns://en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org
4. clicked Install and start

Confirmed I got go-ipfs_v0.10.0_darwin-arm64 and was able to start/stop/restart node, and open IPNS/IPFS links
