Increase minimum supported macOS version from 13 Ventura to 15 Sequoia #1024

Description

@rgoldberg

Increase mas's minimum supported macOS version from 13 Ventura to 15 Sequoia.

This should be done only on the release of a major version.

The known benefits of increasing the minimum macOS version for running mas are (by minimum version):

  • 14 Sonoma
    • Observation framework
    • Predicate
    • Sequence.filter(_: Predicate)
    • withDiscardingTaskGroup(…)
    • JSONEncoder.encode(_:configuration:)
    • SortDescriptor
      • .sorted(using: SortDescriptor(\.name, comparator: .localizedStandard)) instead of .sorted { $0.name.localizedStandardCompare($1.name) == .orderedAscending }
  • 15 Sequoia
  • 26 Tahoe
  • 27 Golden Gate
    • Drop x86_64 support

Upgrade tasks:

  • Remove mas & header code that is no longer needed
    • #available
    • #unavailable
    • @available
    • NS_AVAILABLE_MAC
    • NS_DEPRECATED_MAC
  • Replace, e.g.:
    • 12 ➡ 14
    • Monterey ➡ Sonoma
    • 13 ➡ 15
    • Ventura ➡ Sequoia
