Mac version of create-gs-caveat script. Note that create-gs-src-caveat.sh doesn't need to be ported, as the source archives are only going to be generated on the linux machine. And gen-release.sh can be copied straight from https://trac.greenstone.org/browser/other-projects/nightly-tasks/crons-and-scripts/macos as gen-release-mac.sh along with macos_gsbins_cron.sh.TEMPLATE. And I think run-gs-diffcol.sh should already be fine for mac, but of course it needs to be tested.
