The macOS backend been fully removed in 3.99??

I worked on the GTK+3 macOS port in the early beginning of GTK+3. I don’t know 
how much work went into it after that, I did get the impression that it got 
commits and maintenance regularly.

I wasn’t really looking forward to the GTK+3 port because of this and the fact 
that the entire backend appears to have been removed doesn’t really make it 
better :(  On the other hand, it should probably be much easier to port GTK+3/4 
to macOS compared to GTK+2.
