Strip Destination Select page from macOS pkg installer
release / gui-build (linux, bash) (push) Successful in 55s
release / gui-build (windows, cmd) (push) Successful in 1m39s
release / gui-build (macos, bash) (push) Successful in 1m36s

Collapse the Velopack-generated distribution.xml to a single install
domain so macOS Installer skips Destination Select, leaving Apple's
minimum pages (Introduction, Install, Summary). Welcome/license/readme/
conclusion pages are already absent (no --inst* options passed).
