Emily 559a504da7 sandbox: allow SystemVersionCompat.plist on Darwin
For whatever reason, many programs trying to access SystemVersion.plist
also open SystemVersionCompat.plist; this includes Python code and
coreutils’ `cat(1)` (but not the native macOS `/bin/cat`). Illustratory
`dtruss(1m)` output:

    open("/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist\0", 0x0, 0x0)		 = 3 0
    open("/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersionCompat.plist\0", 0x0, 0x0)		 = 4 0

I assume this is a Big Sur change relating to the 10.16.x/11.x
version compatibility divide and that it’s something along the lines of
a hook inside libSystem.

Fixes a lot of sandboxed package builds under Big Sur.
