Add ARM64 architecture detection in setup_pwsh.sh to handle Mac Apple Silicon and other ARM64 Linux environments where PowerShell apt packages are not available. When ARM64 is detected: - Install PowerShell via .NET global tool instead of apt packages - Install .NET SDK 8.0 if not present - Gracefully handle cases where PowerShell installation is optional This fixes the devcontainer failing to load on Mac Apple Silicon with: 'E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.' Closes #210
