dbd137a4ea8f1b5dfc5cdc72cee99c8f8328b793 Improve build-osx formatting (Giulio Lombardo)

Pull request description:

  This `PR` will improve `build-osx.md` formatting by:

  1. Updating Markdown syntax to the latest one
  2. Adding syntax highlighting to all code blocks
  3. Aligning the text up to `80` column guideline (before it was following different guidelines, sometime `80`, sometime `90`, etc.)
  4. Small grammar improvements here and there

    ACK dbd137a4ea8f1b5dfc5cdc72cee99c8f8328b793 - Document reads and renders essentially the same as the current `build-osx.md`, with minor formatting / grammatical  changes.

macOS Build Instructions and Notes
====================================
The commands in this guide should be executed in a Terminal application.
The built-in one is located in `/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app`.
# macOS Build Instructions and Notes
Preparation
-----------
The commands in this guide should be executed in a Terminal application.
The built-in one is located in
```
/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
```
## Preparation
Install the macOS command line tools:
`xcode-select --install`
```shell
xcode-select --install
```
When the popup appears, click `Install`.
Then install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
Base build dependencies
-----------------------
## Base build dependencies
```bash
```shell
brew install automake libtool pkg-config libnatpmp
```
If you want to build the disk image with `make deploy` (.dmg / optional), you need RSVG:
```bash
```shell
brew install librsvg
```
Building
--------
## Building
It's possible that your `PATH` environment variable contains some problematic strings, run
```bash
```shell
export PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e '/\\/!s/ /\\ /g') # fix whitespaces
```
Next, follow the instructions in [build-generic](build-generic.md)
Disable-wallet mode
--------------------
When the intention is to run only a P2P node without a wallet, Dash Core may be compiled in
disable-wallet mode with:
./configure --disable-wallet
## `disable-wallet` mode
When the intention is to run only a P2P node without a wallet, Dash Core may be
compiled in `disable-wallet` mode with:
```shell
./configure --disable-wallet
```
In this case there is no dependency on Berkeley DB 4.8.
Mining is also possible in disable-wallet mode using the `getblocktemplate` RPC call.
Running
-------
## Running
Dash Core is now available at `./src/dashd`
Before running, you may create an empty configuration file:
```shell
mkdir -p "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore"
mkdir -p "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore"
touch "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"
touch "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"
```
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"
The first time you run dashd, it will start downloading the blockchain. This process could take many hours, or even days on slower than average systems.

take many hours, or even days on slower than average systems.
You can monitor the download process by looking at the debug.log file:
```shell
tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/DashCore/debug.log
```
tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/DashCore/debug.log

Other commands:
-------
./src/dashd -daemon # Starts the dash daemon.
./src/dash-cli --help # Outputs a list of command-line options.
./src/dash-cli help # Outputs a list of RPC commands when the daemon is running.
```shell
./src/dashd -daemon # Starts the dash daemon.
