Fix flaky MacOS CI test, possibly using preinstalled Github's MacOS nginx instead

[nyurik]

It seems the nginx server in a docker container sometimes does not properly start up on macos hosts, so the curl --head "http://localhost:5412/webp2.pmtiles" fails to connect.

Possible solutions:

• figure out why the docker does not start, and ensure that it does
• it seems github macos runners have nginx natively (see script) - so perhaps we can just use that, making the test faster as well? I think this is the preferred option if possible

Thanks for checking this out! Agreed, makes sense to use the built-in Nginx. I’ll work on bringing it into the workflow tomorrow or Wednesday! Kyle Slugg-Urbino Phone: (703) 307-5551 GitHub: @kyleslugg <https://github.com/kyleslugg> LinkedIn: @kyle-slugg <https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-slugg/>

I fixed it in #1104, seem to be working, but ideally we should do the same with linux too - will make things more consistent. I do think we may want to create a simple github action for local serving without docker - should be fairly easy to do.
