[Feature Request] | Develop specific Wazuh agent for MacOS M1 chips

Wazuh version	Component	Install type	Install method	Platform
4.x	Wazuh agent	Agent	Packages/Sources	macOS

Hi team,
Wazuh-agent package is natively built for Intel and uses translation to support Apple silicon (M1) processors, and it consumes an outstanding amount of CPU.

So my request would be to consider developing a specific wazuh-agent package that natively supports macOS M1 chips, for enhanced performance.

Thank you!

This request requires multiple team collaboration:

• It's necessary to be able to compile the agent in the mentioned architecture.
• It's needed to create a specific installer for this architecture.
• Additionally, it will be necessary to check that syscollector retrieve correct data about the system. This check should be done from the Wazuh dashboard.
• It's necessary to include the new installers in the CICD building and release processes.
• The Wazuh dashboard plugin should be modified when deploying agents allowing the architecture selection.
• Finally, documentation should be modified accordingly.

Tasks

• Allow the Wazuh agent compilation/sources installation in Apple silicon processors #16127 @wazuh/core
• Generate ARM ready macOS packages wazuh-packages#2086 @wazuh/cicd
• https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-jenkins/issues/4710 @wazuh/cicd
• Modify the documentation including the new macOS Apple silicon installers wazuh-documentation#5914 @wazuh/content
• The agent deploy section should allow the Apple silicon architecture for macOS wazuh-dashboard-plugins#5202 @wazuh/frontend
