We currently don't have any machinery for qmake or CMake to map
translations declared via TRANSLATIONS += or qt_add_translations
to the Info.plist CFBundleLocalizations key.
This results in macOS and iOS falling back to the development region,
CFBundleDevelopmentRegion, as the only supported localization of the
app, which is in most cases set to 'en'.
Unfortunately this doesn't work well with the behavior of iOS 11+
and macOS 10.13+ where the OS will set the locale of the app to
the best match between the app's supported localizations and the
user's preferred language.

Since we only support a single localization, the development region,
the locale always ends up as 'en_<REGION>', which after QTBUG-104930
is also reflected in the QLocale's uiLanguages(), resulting in the
QTranslator machinery always picking English translation for the app.
As long as we don't explicitly declare CFBundleLocalizations we need
to opt out of the system's behavior of finding the best match between
the app's declared localizations and the user's preferences, which we
can do via the CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations key.

This is consistent with what $(DEVELOPMENT_LANGUAGE) reports, as well as
the Apple Locales Programming Guide which states that "Locale names such
as “English”, “French”, and “Japanese” are deprecated in OS X and are
supported solely for backward compatibility."

The default Info.plist shipped with CMake lacks an NSPrincipalClass
entry, which is crucial for making macOS apps run in full resolution
on retina screens.
We make sure the file is only picked up on macOS, not iOS and friends,
since those platforms require another principal class. If needed we can
extract the value out as a CMake variable and use the same file for all
Apple platforms. Doing so would assume all keys are single-platform
only, so if that's not the case we need platform-specific files.
We should probably extract the package type out as a variable too,
so that the file can be used for both apps, plugins, and frameworks,
but doing so requires setting up that variable somewhere based on
the target type, which CMake doesn't allow in an easy way.
The file itself is based on the file CMake ships, combined with
keys inherited from Qt's existing plist templates for qmake, and
adjusted to match what Xcode generates by default these days.
