macOS: use default config dir consistently - #7307

Default configuration directory on mac: `~/Library/GRASS/GRASS{major version}`.
For 8.4, and probably a few before releases before, *nix default,
`~/.grass{major version}` was used. This restores the "old" behaviour for mac,
with a few moderations. Addons directory name is now versioned, based on major
and minor version, but separated from general configurations.
For convenient upgrade experience from 8.4, old configuration files are copied
to the new location, on first use.

The first errors are for the test of the raster3d lib. It fails at documentation. Which it shouldn't have anyways. Something is wired up weirdly.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't know where the origin of the issue is, but the new code looks good.
