Inaccurate info about macOS requirements (docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)

See original GitHub issue

The documentation says …

XCode or XCode Command Line Tools, which can be installed by running xcode-select --install.

… but when I try to run make electron-develop, it fails to build drivelist with the following error …

> drivelist@7.0.3 install /Users/robertvojta/Work/balena/etcher/node_modules/drivelist
> prebuild-install || node-gyp rebuild

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

… which means that Xcode must be installed, not just Command Line Tools.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear - I meant that maybe that change to drivelist means that “Xcode command line tools” is no longer sufficient (when it used to be when the instructions here were first written), and now “full Xcode” is required instead.

Apologies for any confusion caused 🙁 I’m not a JS expert either!
