On Mac OS X Sierra and later, the shell is not allowed to be
debug so add a check and disable startup with shell in that
case. This disabling is done temporary before forking
inferior and restored after the fork.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* darwin-nat.c (should_disable_startup_with_shell):
New function.
(darwin_nat_target::create_inferior): Add call.
