Modernize usage of 'macOS' in doc and comments
Apple changed the spelling of its operating system again, to "macOS", effective with macOS 10.12 Sierra (2016-09-20). Change Emacs documentation and comments to match this. Stick with older OS spellings ("OS X", "Mac OS X") when talking about older releases where the older names are more correct.
