Brecht Van Lommel dd4b98133e Fix T71342: macOS does not always use the discrete GPU for Blender
This reverts commit 3d9cc4d3f1. The commit
message and intent behind the commit is unclear. We generally want the
discrete GPU to be used for best performance, not the integrated GPU.

macOS app bundling guide
========================

Install Code Signing Certificate
--------------------------------

* Go to https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list
* Download the Developer ID Application certifate.
* Double click the file and add to key chain (default options).
* Delete the file from the Downloads folder.

Find the codesigning identity by running:

$ security find-identity -v -p codesigning

"Developer ID Application: Stichting Blender Foundation" is the identity needed.
The long code at the start of the line is used as <identity> below.

Setup Apple ID
--------------

* The Apple ID must have two step verification enabled.
* Create an app specific password for the code signing app (label can be anything):
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204397
* Add the app specific password to keychain:

$ security add-generic-password -a <apple-id> -w <app-specific-password> -s altool-password

When running the bundle script, there will be a popup. To avoid that either:
* Click Always Allow in the popup
* In the Keychain Access app, change the Access Control settings on altool-password

Bundle
------

Then the bundle is created as follows:

$ ./bundle.sh --source <sourcedir> --dmg <dmg> --bundle-id <bundleid> --username <apple-id> --password "@keychain:altool-password" --codesign <identity>

<sourcedir>  directory where built Blender.app is
<dmg>	       location and name of the final disk image
<bundleid>   id on notarization, for example org.blenderfoundation.blender.release
<apple-id>   your appleid email
<identity>   codesigning identity

When specifying only --sourcedir and --dmg, the build will not be signed.

Example :
$ ./bundle.sh --source /data/build/bin --dmg /data/Blender-2.8-alpha-macOS-10.11.dmg --bundle-id org.blenderfoundation.blender.release --username "foo@mac.com" --password "@keychain:altool-password" --codesign AE825E26F12D08B692F360133210AF46F4CF7B97
