[jdk8u-dev] RFR: 8269850: Most JDK releases report macOS version 12 as 10.16 instead of 12.0

I'd like to backport JDK-8269850 to jdk8u in order to fix the incorrect version detection for macOS.

The patch applied manually due to the location difference:
src/java.base/macosx/native/libjava/java_props_macosx.c (source)
jdk/src/solaris/native/java/lang/java_props_macosx.c (destination)
But it's small and low risk. The changes are related only to one function void setOSNameAndVersion(..) within the single file. The patch is identical to the original one.

Tested with a simple test printing the OS version on macOS Monterey:

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.version"));
    }
}
