Systematically rename internal build identifiers from 'macosx' to 'macos' for consistency with modern macOS naming conventions. Changes: - configure.ac: target_distro=macos - builddefs.in: PACKAGE_DISTRIBUTION checks - build-installer: MACOS_VERSION variable and template substitution - installer-info: @macos_version@ template variable
Remove obsolete 'cocoa' distribution checks from build conditionals. This legacy identifier is no longer set or used.
Replace historical "Mac OS X" references with "macOS" throughout QA test suite comments, scripts, and configuration files.
Change "MacOS X" to "macOS" in the installer requirement message that users see when installing PCP.
Replace "MacOSX" with "macOS" in platform-specific code comments.
