macOS build warning about inconsistent target versions

[Mark Rotteveel]

The macOS build logs are littered with warnings like this:

2025-07-16T08:28:21.9913760Z ld: warning: object file
(/Users/runner/work/firebird/firebird/vcpkg_installed/fb-x64-osx/lib/libc++.a[3](cxa_default_handlers.cpp.o))
was built for newer 'macOS' version (12.7) than being linked (10.9)

I guess this suggests that the `MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET` and
`-mmacosx-version-min` settings in the various prefix.darwin_* files
needs to be increased to 12.7.

Or alternatively, the libc++ build needs to be configured to target the
same version (which, BTW, differs between the various platform targets).

As an aside are the powerpc, i386 and ppc64 targets still relevant these
days?

Any objections if I make this change (increase the target to 12.7)?

Anyone? Otherwise I'll just take the silence as assent and make the change.

I tried to make the change and it broke the build, so I'll just leave it
alone for now. I may revisit this in the future.
