Apple rebrands OSX to macOS - should we follow suit?

Hi,

with the sierra update, Apple renamed OS X to macOS. I don't think we
should rename the platform name to macOS, but maybe some prefixes in
config.xml ?

We could rename the OSX component in jira, though; people repeatedly report
build-problems they encounter on a mac. but again. no biggy.

WDYT?

Regards, Toby

We can also add a alias for cordova platform add macos that adds OSX

I think it's fine. The repo is low-impact, and if you rename on GH it
aliases it as well.

Also, there might be changes needed in Coho and the Docs.
