Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#24241: doc: cleanup doc on need of Developer Account to obtain macOS SDK
ddcac22f092de6f3a2a67acb3288a990fd13cb01 doc: cleanup doc on need of Developer Account to obtain macOS SDK (jarolrod) Pull request description: The explicit statement that an Apple Developer Account is required in order to obtain the SDK is buried within the `Deterministic macOS DMG Notes` section. It should be the first thing mentioned under the `SDK Extraction` section. The reason to do this is to set expectations of what is required before starting any steps or clicking on links. This fixes the issue by doing just that; moving this information to the `SDK Extraction` section. Now that the information is moved, this also deletes unnecessary SDK related notes from the `Deterministic macOS DMG Notes` section. It is not necessary to explain under what sub-directory 'most' of the important files are inside of the `Xcode.app`. Note that this also fixes a missed Xcode version link bump by deleting it :) ACKs for top commit: fanquake: ACK ddcac22f092de6f3a2a67acb3288a990fd13cb01 Tree-SHA512: 9fe7fddd66b68a0475be8b0c78cb58932bf5b68d962ece36a86f3b743a88d8561c0ec3e8d88bcaf338da7ab9d3dfcfb9399f6e1a884d83c8f3117c186d049469
