rABC129caaf0bd61: gui: explicitly disable "Dark Mode" appearance on macOS
Summary
Bitcoin Core's gui is pretty broken for a someone using macOS in "Dark
Mode"; the biggest issue being lots of white text on a white background,
leaving most inputs, the rpc console etc unusable.

This is likely something we'll have to wait for Qt to fix/support, so
it's probably easiest to just disable for now, rather than provide a
broken UI; see screenshots below. This issue might not have come up much
yet, given the issues with the 0.17.0 dmg.

Backport of core PR14593.

Test Plan

Build on OSX with dark theme enabled and check the app use the light
theme.
