Make instructions re: non-notarized PR tester build more user friendly
For security reasons, the macOS tester builds generated for PRs from forks are not notarized. Instructions are provided for beta testing under these conditions. Previously, the instructions for bypassing the macOS notarization requirement involved disabling macOS Gatekeeper entirely using the spctl command. These instructions are hereby replaced by an alternative approach, where the restriction is bypassed for the Arduino IDE application alone, via the macOS GUI. The new approach is superior for the following reasons: - More secure due to having limited scope - More accessible due to the use of the macOS GUI
