M1 Mac Build Failure - update build instructions

[ahalev]

I'm attempting to set up the command line interface to VCell on an M1 Mac (arch64) using the instructions here and am running into issues installing dependencies; I am having test errors in running the dependency install.

Specifically, I am unable to load the libraries vcell/vcell-core/../nativelibs/mac64/libcombinej.jnilib and vcell/vcell-core/../nativelibs/mac64/libjhdf5.jnilib.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Full error logs are below. Thank you!

must be verified on M1/M2 box.

build verified on Macos Ventura 13.4 using updated instructions in README.md referenced in README_BioSim.md

[CodeByDrescher]

The issues described here are actually still present; CLI still uses the old HDF library, which does NOT support ARM arch. With JHDF now updated to use attributes, we should be able to actually fix this issue.

Just confirmed, following the instructions, there should not be any more issues using CLI on Arm chips.
