Add a Mac as the third system, beside Wayland and X11

Dikte already chose its clipboard programs once instead of in every
function; macOS joins that table rather than adding a branch to each one.
A Mac copies through pbcopy and presses Cmd+V straight into CoreGraphics,
records through AVFoundation, and asks Carbon for its global shortcuts.

The three tables are paste.Desktop, audio.Sound, and the pair of
predicates in hotkey.py. Each reads sys.platform inside the chooser, so a
test can stand somewhere else: 697 of the 737 tests now run on any
machine, the Wayland and X11 halves included, and the suite passes whole
whichever system it is run on.

Two things a Mac does not have needed saying rather than pretending:
there is no shortcut registry to install into, so Settings offers no
Install button and the listener is the mechanism instead of a fallback;
and nothing is offered as the sound the speakers are playing, so a
meeting needs BlackHole or Loopback and says so. The KDE-only labels
around them were already wrong on GNOME, and now name whichever desktop
is there.

"""Raw PCM capture with a live level meter.
Dictation records one source through pw-record. A meeting records two of them at
once, the microphone and what comes out of the speakers, and for that it goes
through ffmpeg instead: one process reading both devices and merging them into
the two channels of a single stream, which is the only way the two stay aligned
with each other over an hour.
Dictation records one source. A meeting records two of them at once, the
microphone and what comes out of the speakers, and for that it goes through
ffmpeg: one process reading both devices and merging them into the two channels
of a single stream, which is the only way the two stay aligned with each other
over an hour.
Which programs do the capturing is a property of the machine, not of the code
above: PulseAudio or PipeWire on Linux, AVFoundation through ffmpeg on macOS.
They are gathered into one group each near the bottom of this file, and a
chooser picks between them.
