macdeploy: alternative info to download the macOS SDK
The previous link wasn't accessible for me, this adds some instructions given to me by Hebasto on #bitcoin-core-builds as well as a shasum for the archive to quickly check the downloaded one is the right one before processing with the entire Guix build. This also corrects a link to an older version of the SDK currently in use. Signed-off-by: Antoine Poinsot <darosior@protonmail.com>
