macOs version of Action not working

@terjekv Maybe you can take a look at this and see what we can do?

We might need to drop this as they mount into /Users/Shared/cvmfs, unless we can create a symlink to /cvmfs all the rpathing will be broken.

One can symlink, but that requires writing to /, which is a no-no. To do this, use /etc/synthetic.conf:

synthetic.conf provides a mechanism for some limited, user-controlled file-creation at /. The synthetic entities described in this file are synthesized by the kernel during early system boot. They are not physically present on the disk, but when the system is booted, they behave as if they were within certain parameters.

However, after editing /etc/synthetic.conf, you need to reboot. :(

Also:

➜  ~ $ cat /etc/synthetic.conf
# The line below was autogenerated by CernVM-FS, do not delete nor edit
cvmfs	/Users/Shared/cvmfs

A lot of work to prepare the ground has been done in #24 specifically so that we can have an ARM target. Unfortunately the GitHub Runner M1 instances do not supported nested virtualisation (which we need for Lima), so this is a dead end until we see M2 instances.

Luckily this is perhaps not too far away... github/roadmap#984
