MacOS installation

Test new macOS package

Hi abubk, it turned out, that issues happened with LibreCAD-2.2.0-rc3.dmg on Big Sur. Presumably it is not related with M1 CPU.

With automatic builds coming soon this should be solved and we can return back to one package for all MacOS in future.

...I am running High Sierra on a mid-2011 iMac. It installed with no problem at all. Thank you! All I've done so far is draw a single line just to see that the space bar worked. :) But I have more to do after the weekend. Now, I tried to understand the instructions about building my own......
