FFmpeg Build Script for Apple Silicon

This script is based on OSXExperts.NET Guide and ssut's ffmpeg-on-apple-silicon Project.

Thanks to these two projects, I've successfully built FFmpeg on my M4 Pro Mac mini.

Notes:

• This script only involves essential packages. If you need more packages, please refer to the original projects.
• It should be enough for daily use without the need for burded in captions.
