Merge #13366: Docs: Rename “OS X” to the newer “macOS” convention
989c8990bb765eef45c8ee471f084ca81a0bead4 Rename “OS X” to the newer “macOS” convention (Giulio Lombardo)

Pull request description:

  Since 2016, with [macOS 10.12 Sierra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Sierra), Mac OS X has been renamed in macOS. It would be a nice if Bitcoin's macOS build instructions follow this naming convention to avoid misunderstandings.
