Apple ARM Processors Require Rosetta 2 to Build for gRPC Build Tools Support

I don't think this repository can be build on MacOs / Apple Sillicon

NO GOAL: depends on Rosetta
GOAL: Having the tooling "just works"

$ git clone https://github.com/dotnet/eShop

$ dotnet tool restore
# this repo is missing dotnet tool manifest for ef
$ dotnet new tool-manifest
$ dotnet tool install dotnet-ef
$ git add ./.config
$ git commit -m "Add required file for dotnet tool to avoid relying on a global computer state"

$ sudo dotnet workload restore
# dotnet workload is still bugged and require sudo on non-windows
# https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/18585

$ dotnet restore eShop.Web.slnf
$ dotnet build eShop.Web.slnf
# should work

Current Result: This repo depends on a package that is yet to be Apple ARM compliant:

dotnet build eShop.Web.slnf
MSBuild version 17.8.3+195e7f5a3 for .NET

Grpc.Tools only ship for macos x64 apparently, until Google actually update their package for Apple Silicon, should this repo offer an alternative way of using GRPC like for example protobuff-net ?
