Lee Salzman e969544232 Bug 1553691 - Implement CrossProcessSemaphore on macOS using Mach semaphores. r=nika
Unnamed POSIX semaphores are not supported on macOS, nor is timed wait supported on
named POSIX semaphores. SysV semaphores have similar limitations.

Mach semaphores are one of the only clean ways to create unnamed, shareable semaphores
on macOS. As of bug 1734735, we now can transparently send the mach ports across to
other processes without much added code, overall making this implementation of Mach
semaphores fairly easy.
