Update MacOS GitLab CI/CD configuration by 31st May

[CMCDragonkai]

The beta macos machines will be deprecated by 31st May and from then it will be running on the M1 architecture, and will require us to have premium subscription to GitLab again.

See:

• Packaging up js-quic for Linux, Windows, MacOS js-quic#7 (comment)
• https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runner-saas-macos-access-requests/-/issues/233#note_1394334519

Note that if we were to go towards full cross-compilation we may avoid this. But since we have other code like js-db and later that may still use node-gyp we're going to need it anyway.

Do note that M1 and x64 macos is capable of cross compiling architectures. We don't bother with the universal binary cause it's not needed, we are able to publish separate optional packages atm. That way lipo is avoided. That does mean though... when distributing PK, we have to distribute an M1 version and a x64 version. The x64 versions are likely to be deprecated in the following years.

Tasks

• 1. Use saas-macos-medium-m1 as the tag.
• 2. Use macos-12-xcode-14 as the image.
• 3. Make sure to update the systeminformation to 5.18.5 if it is being used in benchmarking
• 4. Test that build still works fine on M1

I've switched over in js-async-cancellable. However since we aren't on premium package atm, it's not working. So for now we will just have disable macos jobs while we proceed.

@tegefaulkes beware of this for PK @amydevs

Just disable the macos jobs for what you're doing atm.

[CMCDragonkai]

This is now doable. Everybody must update their repos with this.

[tegefaulkes]

Updated for js-quic.

[CMCDragonkai]

When updating to the new macos, for the macos jobs to work when benchmarks are used, we need to update to 5.18.5.

See: MatrixAI/js-db#64 (comment)

So if there are benchmarks and systeminformation exists, then we need to add it in.

[CMCDragonkai]

I've done this for js-db and released 5.2.0 for now with the latest libraries.

[CMCDragonkai]

I'm going to move this issue to Polykey since it's about all libraries.

[CMCDragonkai]

MatrixAI/js-db#63 introduces the ability to separate packages into optional packages for js-db. The js-quic is the first one to do it. But the rust toolchain is alot better than the node-gyp toolchain. So it does require some work, however this is not that important atm. So I'm putting it on hold.

Another thing I forgot. Make sure your scripts/*.sh and scripts/*.ps1 are executable. Use chmod u+x. Otherwise it will fail.
