Cross-platform compilation

[samuelpswang]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently we are compiling Windows, Linux, and macOS binaries separately on different machines. It would be much better if we have a CI pipeline setup which can automatically generate binaries every time we declare a release.

Describe the solution you'd like

Any one of the following would be greatly helpful:

• ability to compile x64 binaries on Apple Silicon Macs (via prebuild), or
• ability to compile arm64 binaries on Windows or Linux machines (via docker and prebuild).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatives are to compile Windows/Linux and macOS binaries on different machines.
