Hallo

As suggested in the discussion of my PR 
(https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/22460), the question 
os.version vs macos_version should be discussed here.

The docs about the global variables os.version, os.major,  macos_version and 
macos_version_major (https://guide.macports.org/#reference.variables) make no 
difference regarding their usage, contrary to current usage. It should be 
clearly stated that macos_version is not supposed to be used for os version 
dependences, but should be limited to examples like error texts. It needs to be 
stated clearly that only os.version and os.major will be accepted in code. The 
docs about os.version and os.major should also contain the vital link to 
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/XcodeVersionInfo#macOSVersionMap
