macos-setup: Require Qt 5.9 or later and macOS 10.10 or later

The minimum required version of Qt is now 5.9, and thus the
minimum required version of macOS is 10.10 (Yosemite). Update
that in macos-setup, and remove various version checks and older
packages needed for Mountain Lion and Mavericks.

Also update the default version of Qt installed to 5.12.12, the
last release in the Qt 5.12 LTS series (and the last version with
an offline installer.)
