  macOS: use default config dir consistently (#7307)

Default configuration directory on mac: `~/Library/GRASS/GRASS{major version}`.
For 8.4, and probably a few releases before, *nix default,
`~/.grass{major version}` was used. This restores the "old" behaviour for mac,
with a few moderations. Addons directory name is now versioned, based on major
and minor version, but separated from general configurations.

For convenient upgrade experience from 8.4, old configuration files are copied
to the new location, on first use.
