Added note about macOS/ARM and how to override the default chosen processor architecture.

Yeah, that sounds to me like a solid bug elsewhere :thinking:

@nerpaula can you give more details about what your environment looked like when you ran into this?

Considering that the problem is caused by configuration on the host (DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64), I don't think this should be called out on a specific image's docs. The users' config/environment is overriding the best choice. It is unfortunate that docker doesn't warn the user when DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM is used.

shouldn't it do that? Since I think we saw more than one mac user run into this trap. While most other users in this situation will probably only experience performance degradation of the emulation, only containers that use non supported processor optimizations will unveil this. Since docker is now our recommended way to run ArangoDB on mac, I'd like to have a good solution for this. Is there a way to say you need AVX2 for docker containers etc?
