Think Different

Native code to go with the ThinkDifferent class that handles macOS-specific API calls.

Currently handles hiding the menu bar, and the basic structure of the native libraries evolved from the jAppleMenuBar project by Hansi Raber and was rewritten for Processing 4 by Ben Fry.

As of 4.2, also includes a method from Python Mode to bring windows to the front.
