Native Mac Testing Build

[StLouisCPhT]

Change to Software Rendering for better speeds.

[TheBrokenMicrowave]

I've been working on getting PCSX2 building on macOS, and a number of people have asked for a build, so here it is:

32-Bit (More stable, only compatible with macOS 10.14 and lower)
64-Bit (Less stable, compatible with all macOS versions)

Source Code

Warning: If you're upgrading from an older build, the PCSX2 directory has changed!  Copy your memory cards from ~/PCSX2 to ~/Library/Application Support/PCSX2 to keep your saves

Known Issues

• The Onepad controller mapping GUI is for keyboards only.  If you're using a game controller, launch a game and see if it works.  If not, use this tool to create a new controller mapping, open ~/Library/Application Support/PCSX2/inis/OnePad2.ini, and add SDL2 = mapping to the end of it (where mapping is the one generated earlier).  If you'd like, you can make a PR with your mapping here and it will be included in a future version of PCSX2.
  
• Macs with Intel Iris Pro 5200 GPUs crash in the Hardware Renderer.  Select software renderer if you have an older Intel iGPU and experience a glitchy lightshow in the bios boot screen followed by a crash.
  
• Fullscreen doesn't keep game aspect ratio
  

If you have any issues that aren't listed above, please report them here

Hello, I have a M1 Macbook Pro. Really excited for the work you're doing. I have an issue where the % fluctuates a lot at times. I've tried multiple settings and non of them hit quite right. I'd like to thank you for the work that's done on this as it's a great way to play actually fun games on mac. If rate wasn't crippling and dropping all over the place this would be amazing.

If you have any settings recommendations for the M1 chips to make the games sane, please let me know.
