1544732 - autospider.py fails with `SDK version "10.14" is unsupported`

Almost same issue as bug 1544418, but specific to autospider.py.

Currently autospider.py doesn't specify --with-macos-sdk configure parameter,
and that results in hitting the following error when building on macOS 10.14.x:

ERROR: SDK version "10.14" is unsupported. Please downgrade to version 10.13. 
You may need to point to it using --with-macos-sdk=<path> in your mozconfig.

given the path to SDK can be different for each environment, we cannot put it in variant files (unless we require specific path).
the possible solution could be:

• receive path from command line
  • at least I'm using wrapper around autospider.py, this won't be much trouble. not sure for others
• use some dot file in home (~/.autospider or something) to specify it
• require using specific path (/Developer/SDKs/ or something)
  • similar to conditional-env in variant files, we can add conditional-configure-args
• (edited) require setting MACOS_SDK_DIR env

If we require MACOS_SDK_DIR, it should be mentioned in the error message.
