Tell macOS users to declare macOS 14 in pixi - #214

The current RoboStack builds need macOS 14 or newer. Pixi doesn't look at the macOS version of the machine and solves for macOS 13 unless the workspace declares one, so following Getting Started on a Mac quietly installs an older generation of the packages. Getting Started now declares macOS 14 right after `pixi init` and in the multi-distro pixi.toml, the homepage quick start points there, and a FAQ entry explains how to spot and fix it in an existing workspace.

Summary
The current RoboStack builds need macOS 14.
Pixi doesn't look at the macOS version of your machine: unless the workspace declares one, it solves for macOS 13 and quietly picks an older generation of the packages.
pixi init, the twopixi workspace platformcommands that declare macOS 14, with a collapsible on why. The multi-distropixi.tomldeclares it forosx-64andosx-arm64.pixi list distro-mutexand how to fix an existing workspace.Evidence

Someone still on macOS 13 who follows the new steps gets an error from pixi about their system instead of the older builds.
