[R-SIG-Mac] Using cairo on arm64 macOS

[Kevin Ushey]

I'm seeing the same thing:

> sessionInfo()
R version 4.1.3 (2022-03-10)
Platform: aarch64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit)
Running under: macOS Monterey 12.2.1

> grDevices:::cairoVersion()
[1] ""

And indeed, cairo.so is missing from grDevices/libs, so I think this build
was (accidentally?) produced without Cairo.

Thanks,
Kevin
