setup: drop legacy osx compiler tuning to enable universal builds This was triggering deprecation warnings about migrating to `packaging.version` from `distutils` Version classes with `make local`. But rather than migrate that code, let's just get rid of some ~10-12 year old workarounds. As a bonus, the cext libraries that are built are now universal binaries containing x86_64 and arm64 images (at least when built on macOS 11.4 with Xcode 12.5 and the universal version of Python 3.9.13). Several things to note here: - Apple dropped support for 10.15 in Nov 2022, and OS X Lion that is referenced is 10.7 (unsupported since late 2014) - `xcode4` was basically always True because of the `>=` check (10.8 used Xcode 5, and I have Xcode 10.2 on 10.14) - `xcode51` was always False for modern-ish Xcode, because of the exact version string matching - Python 3.8 only supports OS X 10.9+; the Python 3.9.1+ universal installer is macOS 11+ only, and Python 3.10 drops the x86_64 installer to deliver only the universal installer. All of this is to say, the only thing lost by dropping this code on modern Xcode is that `os.environ['ARCHFLAGS'] = ''` is no longer set. But we probably shouldn't be setting that anymore, as shown by the universal libraries now being generated. I was able to `make local` and `python3 run-tests.py --local` with python 3.9.9, Xcode 10.2, and macOS 10.14.6, and didn't incur any more than the usual few test errors, so this should still work on some older versions of macOS.

Put here definitions of blacklists for run-tests.py

Create a file per blacklist. Each file should list the names of tests that you
want to be skipped.
File names are meant to be used as targets for run-tests.py --blacklist
option.
Lines starting with # are ignored. White spaces are stripped.

e.g. if you create a blacklist/example file containing:
 test-hgrc
 # some comment
 test-help
then calling "run-tests.py --blacklist blacklists/example" will exclude
test-hgrc and test-help from the list of tests to run.
