Travis A. Everett 0fabb348ba add script to migrate macOS 15 Sequoia nixbld UIDs
While we don't have any easy way to forcibly notify everyone about the
impending breakage (or forcibly migrate the users on their system),
this script enables those who do hear about the problem to migrate
their systems before they take the macOS update.

It should also enable people who only discover it after the update
when a build fails to ~fix their installs without a full reinstall.
