Fix dev_minor()/dev_major()/dev_makedev() for Mac.
Major/minor device encoding is not portable. No two BSDs agree with each other, and Darwin is different again. Everyone does agree on having major()/minor()/makedev() macros, but they disagree whether they should be in <sys/types.h> (the BSDs including Darwin, and old versions of glibc) or <sys/sysmacros.h> (glibc >= 2.26 and bionic). This fixes `ls -l /dev/zero` and `stat /dev/zero` on Mac.
