macOS: Make layer-backed mode the default

QWindows are still backed by NSViews, but these views render to a
CoreAnimation layer instead of directly to the top level NSWindow.

This is the direction Apple is going (and is the only available
option on iOS/tvOS), so we want to move away from the existing
code path as soon as possible.

The default can be reversed by setting QT_MAC_WANTS_LAYER=0, or the
_q_mac_wantsLayer property on QWindow.

[ChangeLog][macOS] Layer-backed mode is now the default for QWindow.
