Layers aren't built/installed on macos

[corngood]

When building and installing on macos I don't get libraries or json for the layers in the output.

It looks like the json installation is only implemented for Windows and Linux. There's APPLE specific stuff in the layer build scripts, and they do compile, but they seem to get linked to .so files:

Linking CXX shared module ../libXrApiLayer_best_practices_validation.so

This is on release-1.1.54

The loader spec itself doesn't seem to have any support for MacOS added in yet either.

An issue (number 2677) has been filed to correspond to this issue in the internal Khronos GitLab (Khronos members only: KHR:openxr/openxr#2677 ), to facilitate working group processes.

This GitHub issue will continue to be the main site of discussion.

yeah it's pretty new, works basically exactly the same as linux for now.
