  1. Fix macOS 14 Sonoma printing to use ps2pdf instead 

    Fix broken printing in macOS 14. It was broken because the OS stopped
supporting Postscript and removed the `pstopdf` tool. Fix the printexpr
to detect when `pstopdf` doesn't exist and try to use `ps2pdf` instead.
This is a third-party tool and it's not guaranteed to exist. If it
doesn't exist, give an error prompt for the user to suggest installing
Ghostscript first. Settled on this solution as printing is a relatively
niche feature and it's not worth spending too much effort fixing this.

- macvim-dev#1390 / macvim-dev#1347: macOS 13 Ventura broke printing by removing Preview
  support for PostScript. The fix was to use `pstopdf`, which eventually
  got removed in macOS 14.
