Improve macOS app build process and bundle handling.

- Updated `make-app-release` script to use `macdeployqt` with proper verbosity and bundle fixup.
- Introduced post-build fixup using CMake's `BundleUtilities` to internalize non-Qt dylibs.
- Enhanced macOS bundle RPATH settings for accurate Framework resolution.
- Added optional `kge_fixup_bundle` CMake target for post-build handling.
- Refined `default.nix` to load Nixpkgs in a default argument.
