Building (locally) on M1 Mac OS does not work

[phobson]

Disclaimer: I do not understand cython builds well.

When I try to install crick from source on my M1 Mac, I get error messages that seem to indicate that the M1 architecture is confusing the build system into thinking it's Windows and then Windows build tools clearly aren't available. My reason for thinking this is related to M1 Macs is that the CI is currently successfully running pip install --no-deps --global-option build --global-option --debug -e . on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows.

M1 build errors (`pip install -e .`)
