mac build: note in README: pyinstaller picks up extraneous brew pkgs

ThomasV had libffi installed via brew, and this side-effected the built electrum dmg.
`('libffi.8.dylib', '/usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/libffi.8.dylib', 'BINARY')`

- Installing extraneous brew packages can result in build differences.
For example, pyinstaller seems to pick up and bundle brew-installed `libffi`.
So having a dedicated "electrum binary builder macOS VM" is recommended.
- Make sure that you are building from a fresh clone of electrum
(or run e.g. `git clean -ffxd` to rm all local changes).
