macOS support

[foxt]

I don't know if it would be easily ported to node add ons (I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to C/C++), but I found a library that works on my machine that works quite well. https://github.com/kfix/ddcctl

I've looked at that before. Seems like pretty much all the macOS DDC/CI stuff for macOS is ultimately based on @jontaylor/DDC-CI-Tools-for-OS-X.

Since that's GPL-licensed, would need to relicense this project to include any of that code. Alternatively, ddcctl could be called from node, but that's not ideal.

I think the entire project has to be GPL licensed, but I can dual-license everything except the DDC library code as MIT.

hi. @hensm - Do you have plans to add support for MacOS in the near future?

[foxt]

@sabaatworld if not, you can always just call ddcctl using child_process.

@sabaatworld I had a local build based on the kfix code at one point, but I found it to be very unreliable. Might be worth taking another look at, since there are a couple of newer projects that seem to have made some improvements on it.

Might I recommend https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl for macos, works great.
