For macOS (Darwin), some users are running on Intel silicon (x86_64), some on Apple silicon (aarch64). The purpose of this commit is to generate a universal binary of alr for macOS, so that users won't need to specify which version they need -- the loader will select the appropriate binary. To do this, a new job 'build-macos-universal' runs after the 'build' job has completed (which implies completion of its runs on macos-13 (x86_64) and macos-14 (aarch64)). This job dowloads & unpacks the x86_64 build to x86_64/, and the aarch64 build to aarch64/. It then copies aarch64/ to universal/ (so as to include the additional information, and runs lipo to create the universal binary in universal/bin/alr. The new binary has to be marked as executable, don't know why. alr-nightly-bin-universal-macos.zip is created and uploaded to the release directory. * .github/workflows/nightly.yml (build-macos-universal): new.

Badly phrased, I think - "the loader will select the appropriate architecture from the single binary executable" might be clearer |

Remove two steps that were inserted to check that no
com.apple.quarantine attributes were applied when the individual
architecture builds were downloaded (none were applied).
* .github/workflows/nightly.yml (build-macos-universal):
(check x86_64 attributes): remove.
(check aarch64 attributes): remove.

nightly.ymland theci-macos.ymlworkflows a new jobbuild-macos-universalruns after thebuildjob has completed (which implies completion of its runs onmacos-13(x86_64) andmacos-14ormacos-latest(aarch64)).This job dowloads & unpacks the
x86_64build tox86_64/, and theaarch64build toaarch64/. It then runslipoto create the universal binaryalr. The new binary has to be marked as executable, don't know why.alr-<release>-bin-universal-macos.zipis created and uploaded to the release directory.Notes:
aarch64,x86_64anduniversalare created, mainly because I didn’t know how otherwise to preserve the outputs of the two parallel build matrix runs. This could cause confusion, which should be minimised when we update the ada-lang-io and alire.ada.dev sitesRELEASE.datetc), so I copied it from theaarch64build.
