Build universal binary for M1 (Apple silicon) (#781)

On mac, the prebuilt binary (as well as the binary built by `npm i --build-from-source`) is now a universal binary that's suitable for both x86_64 (as before) and arm64 (new). Also sets MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET, to 10.7 which is the same target that Node.js 10 uses and thus what we already supported, but now explicitly. Ref #766
