Merge bitcoin-core/gui#418: fix bitcoin-qt app categorization on apple silicon
3765c486ef qt: fix bitcoin-qt app categorization on apple silicon (Jarol Rodriguez)

Pull request description:

  `System Information` contains many insights into various aspects of your macOS system; the 'Applications' tab contains info on apps. Starting with macOS 11, the 'kind' column under the 'Applications' tab started displaying the CPU architecture of the application. The options are; apple silicon, intel, universal. Previously, the `kind` column indicated where the application originated. The change was made to conveniently determine if the app installed was built to run natively on the new M1 CPU or an intel app that will run under rosetta. Of course, there are several other tools to confirm this; the 'kind' column provides a user-friendly way.

  We expect that Bitcoin Core compiled, built, and deployed on an intel CPU will be classified as `Intel`. Similarly, we expect that if this is done on an M1 mac, the resulting app is classified as `Apple Silicon`. In reality, Bitcoin-qt built and deployed on an M1 mac will be classified as `IOS`. This behavior is incorrect and should be fixed.

  We fix this by setting the `CFBundleSupportedPlatforms` in our info.plist to the value of `MacOSX`. In doing this, we are telling macOS, "We do not support IOS; stop it!".

  Tested and confirmed that this is a no-op on macOS < 11.

  **To Test:**
  For testing, our base branch will be [#22546](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22546). Please perform the following steps on the base branch and then the base branch with the commit from this PR cherry-picked onto it:

  - Have an M1 mac
  - Compile and deploy bitcoin
  - Open up the deployed *.dmg, installed the bundled app
  - Eject the bitcoin dmg that should currently be mounted
  - Navigate to System Information -> Applications
    - Click on the top-left Apple icon
    - Click about this mac
    - Click on the 'Storage' tab
    - Click on the 'Manage...' button
    - On the left, click on 'Applications'
    - Sort by Name
  - Look for the Bitcoin Core application
    - Base Branch: The kind column should state that this application is of type `IOS`
    - PR Branch: The kind column should state that this application is of type `Apple Silicon`

  Note: Intel users on at least macOS 11 can help test by confirming that the application still shows up as kind=`Intel`

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information read the original Bitcoin whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
