macOS fork of Squeezeplay

Description

This fork of Squeezeplay is focused on bug fixes and usability enhancements for the macOS build.

The three primary areas of focus are:

It's a laboratory for me to learn Core Audio, PortAudio, and Objective-C.

I'm happy to fold this back upstream when it is sufficiently stable.

clean compilation on x86_64 and M1 with arbitrary SDK versions
version number from git instead of svn in About as well as Settings -> Advanced -> About
⌘-H and ⌘-Q hide and quit, respectively
multimedia key support (next/prev/play/pause) in conjunction with noTunes
multimedia key support (next/prev/play/pause) without requiring noTunes
handle runtime changes in default output device like unplugging headphone jack, pairing Bluetooth headphones, changing MIDI Sound Output, etc.
double click NowPlaying applet to rotate skin instead of single click
memory leak fix in Quartz redraw
~~move volume slider quickly by clicking in the grey empty space area~~
don't clobber VLC's output device on startup
tray icon menu items for controlling playback
downsample high VBR FLAC streams to Bluetooth devices

Install XCode command line tools, if not already installed: xcode-select --install
Copy (or symlink) either Makefile.osx-x86_64 or Makefile.osx-M1 to a file called Makefile, depending on your architecture. This is really for convenience; that way, you don't have to keep passing the -f flag to make every time.
Perform the steps listed at the top of the Makefile entitled, "user specific stuff", like cloning and patching portaudio_v19.
Build with make
