Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#30287: macOS: rewrite some docs & swap `mmacosx-version-min` for `mmacos-version-min`

7c298fe0df38696f60e981469422315c03a722da doc: rewrite some of the macdeploy docs (fanquake)
d042230f7a7ada03f85cc392b8f2c4b56e779d61 depends: swap mmacosx-version-min for mmacos-version-min (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  Whilst `-mmacosx-version-min` and `-mmacos-version-min` remain aliases for each other, the later is preferred,
  and I assume the former will be removed at some point in the future; see: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/95374.

  Somewhat of a followup to #21778. Rewrite some of the mac deploy docs.

 ## Deterministic macOS App Notes

-Apple uses `clang` extensively for development and has upstreamed the necessary
-functionality so that a vanilla clang can take advantage. It supports the use of `-F`,

-building for macOS.
+All builds must target an Apple SDK. These SDKs are free to download, but not redistributable.
