Get released Versions signed to avoid error message on Mac OS #183

Description

@gregorwolf

Steps to reproduce:

I've downloaded the current release (smctl-1.12.1-darwin-arm64.tar.gz) to my Apple M2 Max MacBook Pro. There I've extracted the file and moved the executable to /usr/local/bin/smctl. But now I get the following error message:

“smctl” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.
Chrome downloaded this file today at 08:42.

I can now go to System Settings -> Privacy and Security and click the "Allow Anyway" button:

Expected Results:

I would expect that a tool that should also be used in corporate environments should get signed with an Apple developer certificate.
