[bisq-network/bisq] Support building and running on Apple M1 Silicon (PR #5835)

[Christoph Atteneder]

> @chimp1984 asked me about the status of getting the Bisq build working on M1 Macs for some work he was doing with @pedromvpg. I just looked back into it. It appears that everything we need from the Gradle JavaFX plugin side is now place, see [openjfx/javafx-gradle-plugin#113 (comment)](https://github.com/openjfx/javafx-gradle-plugin/pull/113#issuecomment-1104717714) for details, but still not and maybe never from the JFoenix side, see [sshahine/JFoenix#1205](https://github.com/sshahine/JFoenix/issues/1205) for details. It may be that in order to get building on M1, we need to drop our dependency on JFoenix altogether. I'm not sure the level of effort there, but if I recall correctly, the component causing the issue was just a progress meter in the splash screen. Perhaps other issues with the library would surface once that component were replaced, though, not sure.

Replacing the progress bar shouldn't be too big of a problem, but with Bisq2 in development I'm not sure if it is worth the effort to make lots of changes to the codebase or getting rid of JFoenix completely. Bisq2 should work for M1 as there is no JFoenix dependency anymore.
