Summary

depends: libdmg-hfsplus: Skip CMake RPATH patching

CMake's RPATH patching apparently causes non-reproducibility in the
executables which are produced, manifesting in a difference in padding
in the .dynstr section (we found this while investigating
non-reproducibility in the "dmg" tool). This RPATH patching can be
safely skipped for executables which don't depend on internal shared
libraries.

guix: Build dmg as a static binary

This relatively easy change eliminates all runtime dependencies (except
for the kernel) for dmg, which is the only native build tool that gets
put in our output tarballs.

This allows much more flexibility when constructing the codesigning
environment, and is much more robust.

This concludes backport of core#21375

Most of this PR was included when we copied the latest guix scripts.
Another commit with a Qt patch was included in D13927, and another one related to id_string in D13940

Depends on D13940
