Investigate running Loupe natively on Windows/WSL or Mac #21

Description

Loupe's analysis relies on two Linux kernel features: seccomp and ptrace. For that reason we originaly thought it could only run on top of either a native Linux install or a full-fledged VM running Linux.

Still we did not investigate if there is a possibility to have these features emulated under the lightweight Linux compatibility layers available for Windows and Mac.

Windows. It seems that WSL v2 uses a lightweight VM to run a Linux kernel, so there is a possibility for Loupe to work here.

Mac. Loupe may be able to run on top of Docker for Mac. There are some discussion about ptrace possibly available. Concerning seccomp, things are less clear.

It would be nice to investigate running Loupe in both environment and if one/both work, to document the process of setting it up.
