HashLink: fix the ability to double-click the .app file on macOS to run it

Browse Source 
The HashLink executable expects hlboot.dat and libraries to be in the current working directory (it's not enough for them to be in the same directory as the executable). Make the .app file launch a shell script that 1) changes the current working directory 2) launches the HashLink executable
