update mac download details (#2099)
This will update the mac downloads page replacing Xcode with Xcode Command Line Tools which is smaller in installation size compared to full Xcode and can be installed via command line. It also re adds mentioning the binary installer to reduce confusion, a lot of locations on the internet and print are point to this page indicating there is a binary installer.
