Fixes #230
This adds support for downloading the correlated static binary file, based on the current TARGETPLATFORM / CPU architecture.

I did not have a non-arm machine to test this change with. Testing should be done on at least an amd64 machine before merging to avoid a major regression.

I tested this on my M1 Mac being used as a server, which is running ReadMeABook via docker inside a Linux VM. I didn't want to reinvent how the ffmpeg/ffprobe binaries are downloaded, so this follows the same pattern and expands support to all architectures with corresponding binaries from the same release page: https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/releases/
