fa029a7 doc: Clarify min macOS and Xcode version (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Two minor doc fixups:

  * Clarify that `macOS 13.0+` means `macOS 13+`, indicating that on any major version, only the latest security release is supported.
  * Clarify that the Xcode version was selected based on the minimum required macOS version and the minimum required clang version.
