This keeps macOS configs in line with Firefox.

Attachment: Bug 1678775 - Add toolchain task to download macOS 11 SDK from taskcluster archive. r=justdave

Downloads the macOS 11 SDK from the (private) taskcluster artifact that's
built for Firefox. It's then stored as a private toolchain artifact under
the project/comm namespace so that Thunderbird build jobs can access it with
the scopes they already have.

There is no l10n configuration for these as the distributed build will be
a unified DMG containing both x86_64 and aarch64 binaries and a single copy
of non-binary resources.

It builds, but it's untested as I don't have hardware.

At the moment, libotr.dylib is grabbing the x86_64 binary so OTR functionality will obviously not work. librnp did build as it's more integrated into the build system.

There needs to be a followup to rename the existing macosx64-shippable build to macosx64-x64-shippable and then a new build job named macosx64-shippable is needed to combine the two builds into a single Universal binary.

Tried it on a Macbook Air with M1 processor. When I try to start it says at startup that I have no access rights. Starting through terminal it says: permission denied.
It's not a signing problem as I can set it to start anyway like for other treeherder builds.

I got the try builds to run via fake signing:
sudo codesign --deep --force --sign - Thunderbird\ Daily.app

The - is for ad hoc signature suitable for this type of testing. Real builds will obviously be properly signed and such.
