hostinfo: use Foundation APIs to get hostname on macOS

Updates tailscale/corp#22332

This PR changes the way we determine the current hostname on Darwin && !iOS builds. We now use the native NSHost.currentHost API to get the hostname, instead of the os.Hostname() call which in Go uses `sysctl kern.hostname`. In Sequoia, this appears to always return `Mac.home`, (`home` comes from my LAN).
