Such support is present almost everywhere, except for Xcode 9.
It is added in Xcode 10, but travis uses xcode9 by default,
so we should support it for a while yet.

We really should get someone who has an AppleID to check what the
support period is because if Apple don't care about Xcode9 anymore I
doubt we should.

Anyway:

The page at https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/reference/osx/ has a nice 
list which Xcode versions are used with which macOS versions.
Xcode10 was also available for macOS 10.13 (which is likely the oldest 
macOS version that we care about), so I think we can assume that macOS 
users that are still using 10.13 can upgrade to xcode10.1 if they want 
to compile QEMU.
