8dfbb5c doc: mention creating application support bitcoin folder on OSX (Jack Mallers)

Pull request description:

  When setting up bitcoin core on my new MacBook via the [`macOS Build Instructions and Notes`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md), running `touch "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf"` resulted in `No such file or directory` because my `/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/` folder had not been created yet.

  This PR adds `mkdir "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin"` to the documentation before creating the configuration file with `touch "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf"`
