Enabling all `make deps` dependencies with the exception of Embree and OIDN.
After that, Blender can be compiled on an Apple Silicon Mac just like on any
Intel based Mac. There are still compiler warnings that need to be
investigated and there are probably a couple of bug still to be discovered
and to be fixed.
Most patches to the dependencies are simple and are about disabling SSE and
setting the proper architecture to compiile for. Notable exception is Python,
where I back ported a yet to be accepted PR for upstream Python:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/21249
Cross compiling or buliding a Universal Binary is not supported yet.
The minimum macOS target version for x86_64 remains at 10.13, the target
for arm64 is 11.00.

We compile zlib as own dependency, but are not informing BLOSC
to use it. This leads to zlib symbols defined twice when linking
Blender: one set comes from libz.a and another one from libblosc.a.
Tested on Linux Debian testing and CentOS 7.5.
It is possible that this change on its own will lead to linking
errors after libraries are re-compiled, This will be fixed as
a dedicated fix to Blender's build system.

This aligns with the VFX reference platform 2020 along with the decision
to stick to Python 3.7, see T68774.
Blosc was downgraded to 1.5 as recommended by the OpenVDB documentation.
IlmBase and OpenEXR are now built together with CMake rather separately
using autoconf.

Note these are intended for platform maintainers, we do not intend to
support users making their own builds with these. For that precompiled
libraries from lib/ should be used.
Implemented by Martijn Berger, Ray Molenkamp and Brecht Van Lommel.
