glom: use native file dialog for Quartz

Description

Do you think the Quartz build could integer this native dialog? It's a small piece of code to enhance GTK applications and give them native dialogs windows. It is useless for Linux, but can be interesting for Mac users.

Known Limitations I accept quality code patches, or will resolve these and other matters through support.

No support for Windows XP's legacy dialogs such as GetOpenFileName. No support for file filter names -- ex: "Image Files" (*.png, *.jpg). Nameless filters are supported, though. No support for selecting folders instead of files. On Linux, GTK+ cannot be uninitialized to save memory. Launching a file dialog costs memory. I am open to accepting an alternative nfd_zenity.c implementation which uses Zenity and pipes.

I ported a native experimental stand-alone build of Glom that works almost well. It must be stored in the /Applications folder and unsigned applications must be allowed for the first launch. https://www.dropbox.com/s/y78qt7z3ljzzh6n/Glom-1.28.5-postgis.7z?dl=0

Summary: Give native file dialog to Glom Quartzglom: use native file dialog for Quartz

Given how old this ticket is, it's possible that this is already the case with the latest release of glom, gtk3, etc.

But we should test a Quartz install, to see whether that's the case.
