Title

build: Use Xcode .xip as Guix input

Description

It seems to me that the [manual extraction](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/macdeploy#sdk-extraction) of `MacOSX10.*.sdk.tar.gz` can be a source of fragility, confusion, and non-determinism. Perhaps what we could do going forward is to have the unmodified Xcode `.xip` as the Gitian input, and perform the extraction inside the Gitian environment. This has the additional benefit of the `.xip` being trivially deterministic (and thus easy to compare) as long as people are downloading the same version.
