Replace deprecated CGWindowListCreateImage with compatibility layer that uses CGDisplayCreateImageForRect on modern systems and provides runtime fallback for older macOS versions. - Add ScreenCaptureCompat module for cross-version screen capture - Update ColorPickerAction to use compatibility layer - Set deployment target and universal binary support in Makefile - Maintain backwards compatibility to macOS 10.15+

Problem
Project fails to compile on macOS 15.0+ due to deprecated CGWindowListCreateImage API:
Solution
Added compatibility layer that automatically uses the appropriate screen capture API based on runtime macOS version.
Changes
• Makefile: Added deployment target and universal binary support
• ColorPickerAction.m: Replaced deprecated API with compatibility wrapper
• ScreenCaptureCompat.h/.m: New compatibility layer with runtime OS detection
Compatibility
• macOS 12.3+: Uses CGDisplayCreateImageForRect
• macOS 10.15-12.2: Falls back to CGWindowListCreateImage (warnings suppressed)
• Architectures: Universal binary (x86_64 + arm64)
• Deployment: macOS 10.15+
Testing
✅ Builds on macOS 15.0 with Xcode 16
✅ Color picker working:
./cliclick cp:100,100→0 0 0✅ All existing functionality preserved
No breaking changes - same CLI interface and behavior.
