macOS support

Closed Ariadne Conill requested to merge ariadne/apk-tools:feature/macos into master

This MR implements a set of patches allowing for a functional apk on macOS.

There are a few caveats:

  • macOS does not use /etc/passwd as a source of authentication truth, so we use opendirectory on macOS instead. Unfortunately there is only one opendirectory database, as it does not support nesting.

  • using this with fakeroot on macOS is broken on systems where Darwin only uses 64-bit inodes. fakeroot needs to be updated to mitigate this scenario.
