[macOS Apple Silicon] Fix for MagicaVoxel black screen

If you get a black screen when launching MagicaVoxel on macOS (M1/M2/M3/M4, Sequoia or later), here is a working fix:
1/ Go to the MagicaVoxel folder (e.g. MagicaVoxel-0.99.6.2-macos-10.15).
2/ Right-click on MagicaVoxel.app → Copy.
3/ Go to your Desktop → Paste Item → this will create a real copy of the app (not an alias).
4/ Delete the original MagicaVoxel.app inside the MagicaVoxel folder (move it to the Trash).
5/ Take the new copy from your Desktop and move it back into the MagicaVoxel folder (next to shader, palette, etc.).
6/ Launch MagicaVoxel from this new file.

⚠️ Important: keep the whole folder (with shader, palette, vox, etc.) together inside /Applications. Do not move the .app file alone.
This solved the black screen issue on my MacBook Air M4.

To the Ephtracy Team : it could be cool to have the latest version for Mac, as for Windows ;) Hope it will come soon :) Thanks
