7d7bf2ff4a67c3953b0d660ca88d11313cb4d71d build: set minimum supported macOS to 10.12 (fanquake) Pull request description: Extracted from #16392 as this doesn't need to wait for the other build changes. Reasoning: * `10.10` has been unsupported since July 2017 (~3 years at `v0.20.0` release) * `10.11` has been unsupported since July 2018 (~2 years at `v0.20.0` release) * macOS users are consistent at upgrading to new releases. * Qt 5.12 LTS only supports [macOS > 10.12](https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-5.12/supported-platforms.html). As long as we're supporting macOS < 10.12 we would not be able to bump Qt in depends to 5.12 for the `v0.20.0` release. Once we drop support for 10.12 and start using the 10.15 SDK there are some other follow ups: * Enabling support for [`thread_local`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/configure.ac#L901). * Removing some of the macOS notification code * Removing macOS [startup item code](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/qt/guiutil.cpp#L695). There was also some related discussion in the `#bitcoin-builds` channel yesterday arvo.
