- Reorder instructions to mention ARM64 builds first in macOS, as this is the primary architecture in use now (with all new Macs since 2023 being sold with Apple Silicon only). The `lipo` command still works as before, as it infers the architecture from the input files. - Remove the manual bundle generation steps to make the page shorter (similar to Compiling for Android). - Remove references to the master branch (this was only relevant when 4.0 was still in development).

Theming
The Godot documentation uses the default sphinx_rtd_theme with many
customizations applied on top. It will automatically switch between
the light and dark theme depending on your browser/OS' theming preference.
If you use Firefox and wish to use the dark theme regardless of your OS configuration, you can install the Dark Website Forcer add-on.
