This serves as an alternative to Homebrew. It should be much more stable and
cause less headaches over time for automated builds.
There should be no change to the end user experience of using the build script,
as it should still work with and use Homebrew by default.
Additionally, Nix provides older Apple SDKs, allowing us to run against macOS
11.x SDKs. This allows the resulting Emacs.app builds to be compatible with
macOS 11.x and later versions.
In testing, this seems to be the case on macOS 11.x (x86_64) and macOS 12.x
(arm64).
