Thrift compiler binary distributions

Hi everyone,

Windows distributions are available due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-871.

It would be great to have a compiler for more platforms, e.g.

• Linux x64
• Mac x64
• Mac arm64
• possibly others (Linux s390x, Linux ppc64le, AIX ppc64)

Rationale:

• I was unable to build it on Mac, because xcode ships with bison 2.3, but Thrift requires bison 2.5. setting YACC=/usr/bin/yacc did not work, configure was still using bison.
• the maven plugin could be extended to download binary distributions. The protobuf-maven-plugin and the frontend-maven-plugin do the same things. This is a common scheme for maven plugins, because usually all prerequisites are handled by maven plugins.
