Refer to OS X as "macOS", except for the port name which is still "darwin".
We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X" or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to people who aren't Apple users. Now that Apple has rebranded it "macOS", follow their lead to establish a consistent naming pattern. Also, avoid the use of the ancient project name "Darwin", except as the port code name which does not seem desirable to change. (In short, this patch touches documentation and comments, but no actual code.) I didn't touch contrib/start-scripts/osx/, either. I suspect those are obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway. I dithered about whether to apply this edit to old release notes, but those were responsible for quite a lot of the inconsistencies, so I ended up changing them too. Anyway, Apple's being ahistorical about this, so why shouldn't we be?
