Patch for MacOS build

[more...@pm.me]

Hi Prosody team,

I am running prosody 0.13.1 on my Mac Mini, I thought I'd share the diff for the change I had to make to get it to build.

I'm Aster, or morerunes. I've been getting a prosody server set up and getting more into the weeds with XMPP in general lately. Hoping to contribute more in the future.

I would be interested in updating the homebrew package for prosody as well, as I hadn't initially realized it was out of date until I couldn't get sasl2 stuff working.

The change was pretty small and I've been running it for a couple weeks now without issues as far as I can tell, aside from the (I assume unrelated) "Your server's certificate is not trusted" messages when connecting to external servers, which I plan to spend time debugging later.

Thanks for your time!

Aster

The change was basically just to exclude two file descriptor flags that aren't available on MacOS. Here's the diff:
