#7559: `./configure --with-macosx-deployment-target=` doesn't work

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
This is tested on HEAD with OS X 10.8.2 using Xcode 4.5.2.
Any version X in `./configure --with-macosx-deployment-target=X` results
in configure failing with:
{{{ checking Mac OS X deployment target... configure: error: Unknown
deployment target X }}}
Examining configure reveals that the option appears to have bit rotted
since SDK paths all point to "/Developer/...", whereas these days it
should point inside the Xcode application bundle.
The SDK path should be gotten by appending
"/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX<version>.sdk" to the
output of `xcode-select --print-path`, resulting in something like
"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk".
If continuing support for systems with old versions of Xcode is desirable,
we should first try generating a path using `xcode-select`, and if that
fails we should fall back to trying "/Developer/...".
