Originally created by @mkrautz on GitHub (Dec 31, 2017).

PR mumble-voip/mumble#3289 adds an ignore pragma for deprecation warnings in OSInfo.cpp.

We should revisit this in the future and refactor OSInfo approrpiately.

Some things to keep in mind:

The deprecation ignore is for the Gestalt API, which is marked as deprecated as of macOS 10.8.
However, a replacement API is not available until macOS 10.10.
The replacement API is [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] operatingSystemVersion].
Since the replacement API is Objective-C, we can't call it from our OSInfo.cpp file, so to avoid calling the deprecated API, we'd have to make (at least the macOS part) of OSInfo an Objective-C++ file (.mm).
