[GNC] Serious issues with Mac OS update - 12.0.1

[john]

Wrong change.

The change that affects Macs running macOS 12 is to Gtk, not to GnuCash, and I committed it after releasing GnuCash 4.8: That's why there's a Gnucash.app version 4.8-2: libgtk+-2.34.30.dylib in 4.8-1 doesn't have the patch, 4.8-2 does. It's the only difference between the two bundles. 

Regards,
John Ralls

The change in Gnucash-Intel-4.8-2 is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/36315cbe2b3c9d1c1b7508d9494a251eddbc4452 <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/36315cbe2b3c9d1c1b7508d9494a251eddbc4452>, applied as a patch to gtk+-3.24.30. The -2 indicates a packaging change, not a change to GnuCash itself and aside from changing the version and sha256 doesn't get reflected in the release notes.
