makefile: enable fuzzing support on macOS

Enable fuzzing support on macOS by configuring the build system to use Homebrew LLVM toolchain and handle macOS-specific linking requirements.

The `make check-fuzz` command was failing on macOS because:
- System clang lacks fuzzer runtime library support
- Linking issues with fuzzer targets
- Test script attempts to execute debug symbol files

This PR adds macOS-specific configuration to:
- Use Homebrew LLVM toolchain for fuzzer support
- Explicitly link fuzzer libraries
- Exclude `.dSYM` directories from test discovery

All 76 fuzzer targets now build and pass on macOS.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a build-system fix that lets developers run fuzz tests on macOS. It changes compiler/linker paths, adds Homebrew LLVM detection, and skips macOS debug-symbol folders when looking for test programs. There is no change to how the lightning node handles money, network messages, or cryptography, and nothing here looks like a security vulnerability or backdoor.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as a normal build/CI improvement. Reviewers may want to confirm the hard-coded `/opt/homebrew` paths are acceptable for the project's supported macOS configurations.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
