This PR starts a MacOS runner (MacOS is my only use of PortMIDI right now), install portmidi with brew (preinstalled by GitHub), install a specific version of Erlang and Elixir with asdf, caches the result, and run the tests.

The Erlang build is very slow (15 minutes) due to lack of precompiled binaries on MacOS via asdf at the moment (asdf-vm/asdf-erlang#165).

It was not possible to use the existing "install elixir" actions, because they work only on Ubuntu.

It was not possible either to use Docker, due to licensing issues, I believe it is not supported on MacOS runners at the moment.

Finally, the MacOS version is a bit old (it cannot be Big Sur yet, the default is Catalina).
