This is far from done, but nonetheless constitutes a big improvement.

macOS application bundles are more or less necessary for:
 - showing a nice icon;
 - having spawned off instances actually be brought to the foreground;
 - file associations (yet files currently do not open properly);
 - having a reasonable method of distribution.

Also resolving a bunch of minor issues:
 - The context menu had duplicate items,
   and might needlessly end up with (null) labels.

# macos-configure.sh: set up a Homebrew-based macOS build
#
# Meson has no special support for macOS application bundles whatsoever.
#
# gtk-mac-bundler doesn't do anything particularly miraculous,
# and it doesn't directly support Homebrew.
#
# It would be cleaner and more reproducible to set up a special HOMEBREW_PREFIX,
# though right now we're happy to build an app bundle at all.
#
# It would also allow us to make a custom Little CMS build that includes
# the fast float plugin, which is a bit of a big deal.
# TODO: exiftool (Perl is part of macOS, at least for now)
