[CI][Python] Investigate using self-hosted runner for older macOS wheels

[asfimport]

Currently the wheel-macos-high-sierra-\* and wheel-macos-mavericks-\* packages use Github Actions runners in order to get the right macOS version.

But perhaps that could be improved by making it a two-step process?

• the expensive step, which is building the wheel, can be done on a newer macOS version if the right macOS Deployment Target is set

• the cheaper step, which is testing the just-built wheel, can be run on the desired macOS runner

  That way, the very constrained execution capacity available on GHA macOS runners would be less stressed by our CI jobs.

@assignUser  Does this sound reasonable?

Jacob Wujciak / @assignUser:
With the new capacity of crossbow this is no longer necessary. But I would like to know if it is really necessary that we build on(or rather for) 10.9 & 10.13 which have been EOL for 5/~2 years both are not available as github runners and even 10.15 will be deprecated soon, so there is no easy way to build/test on these other than setting the deployment target.
