ci: Switch to macOS 14 on M series chips
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
macOS 12 was released in October 21, and since then 13 has been out in
October 22, and 14 in September 23. Switch to a more recent Mac
operating system since that's likely what users will be running.

See [1] for GitHub's list of available shared runners. From the macos-12
label to the macos-14 label, the number of CPU cores stays the same (3),
but the CPU architecture switches from x86_64 to arm64. All other
parameters stay the same except for RAM, which changes from 14 GB to
7 GB. Since pkcs11-provider is not a memory intensive project, this
likely has negligible impact on us. The new CPU architecture can be
helpful to identify hardware-specific issues, so is probably a net
positive. The M series chips are also typically much faster than the
older Intel counterparts.
