macOS rendering backend about slint HOT 2 OPEN

A true native macOS backend (as opposed to a Qt one) would be a killer feature from my perspective. Not only is Qt a huge dependency, its controls aren't actually native. For me the single most important widgets to use native controls for are text inputs (both single- and multi-line), because they're ubiquitous yet highly complex, basically mini-applications of their own. Just look at the size of the popup menu after right-clicking on a word:

That's for a native Cocoa control. But with QLineEdit, right-clicking on a word produces:

This doesn't even have the right styling for a popup menu, let alone the right menu items. The keyboard shortcuts are also subtly wrong.

Our plan was only to use Qt at first to get something working quickly. But the long term plan is to get rid of Qt and use native API to get the native look.
This will indeed require some polishing to get everything perfect such as the popup menu on line edit and everything else.
