chore: refactor Linux and macOS build/packaging steps Replaces PR #105. Implement a `pkg-macos` target that ultimately results in `Status.dmg` being written to `pkg/`. Due to [limitations][limits] of the OpenSSL `.dylib`s in `/usr/lib/` on macOS, `libssl.a` and `libcrypto.a` are statically linked into `bin/nim_status_client` from a [Homebrew][brew] "bottle" that is compatible with macOS 10.13 (the oldest macOS version compatible with Qt v5.14). `pkg-macos` creates an `.app` bundle layout in `tmp/macos/dist` based partly on information in a very helpful [StackOverflow answer][so-answer]. Note the part of the answer (toward the end) that explains a problem with the working directory and how to fix it. That's the reason for the `nim_status_client.sh` script introduced in this commit (it gets copied into the bundle). It's also the reason for having `Info.plist` copied into the bundle before `macdeployqt` is run (see below) and then overwriting it with `Info.runner.plist` before creating the `.dmg` file. The app icons file `status-icon.icns` was taken from `deployment/macos/` in the [status-react][sr] repo. The [`macdeployqt`][macdeployqt] tool is used to copy the needed portions of Qt into the bundle; it automatically updates `rpath`, etc. so the `nim_status_client` executable in the bundle can locate the libs within the bundle. `macdeployqt` is run twice, for the "outer" and "inner" `.app` bundles, because of an apparent bug in `macdeployqt` that results in QtWebEngine related resources not being processed correctly on the first pass. This results in some bloat in the final bundle but it seems unavoidable at present. The [create-dmg][cdmg] tool is used to package the bundle into a `.dmg` file. There are two reasons for this: 1. It produces a nice looking icon for the `.dmg` that overlays the Status logo on an external disk icon. 2. `Info.plist` needs to be overwritten after running `macdeployqt` (see explanation above) but before creating the `.dmg` file. If we passed the `-dmg` cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`. So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file. Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the path to a preferred keychain database file. Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the `appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in `NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`. Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt plugins. Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use. Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and imports.

fix: inside packaged macOS builds 'OPEN ME.webloc' should be a file not a symlink The actual fix was applied to the `master` branch of the status-im/create-dmg repo (a fork of the upstream sindresorhus/create-dmg repo). However, in this repo's `package.json` the dependency on Status' fork is specified (implicitly) as that repo's `master` branch. Instead, specify a (short) SHA-1 hash (committish) for our fork so that if a change to status-im/create-dmg introduces a build problem/failure it will be easier to track down in this repo's commit history.

chore: revise how dev version of app icon is set on macOS during `make run` The way it was done previously didn't always produce the intended result (for unknown reasons), i.e. the dev app would sometimes launch with a transparent blank square appearing in place of the expected icon.

build: regenerate package-lock.json with npm v7 Also modify `package.json` so that npm version must be >= 7 and node version must be >= 10 (same as npm v7). This will avoid `package-lock.json` churn if someone builds with npm version < 7.
