[Packaging] DMG is missing applications symlink and background about freecad-bundle HOT 4 OPEN

@adrianinsaval what do you need to implement this?

from freecad-bundle.

I evaluated different methods to create a nice DMG. The python package dmgbuild seems to be the most appropriate to use here.

1. Install with pip install "dmgbuild[badge_icons]"
2. Create a settings.py with this content:

background = "builtin-arrow"
files = ["/Applications/FreeCAD.app"]
symlinks = {"Applications": "/Applications"}
badge_icon = "/Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Resources/freecad.icns"
window_rect = ((100, 100), (670, 250))
icon_locations = {"FreeCAD.app": (100, 100), "Applications": (530, 100)}

3. dmgbuild -s settings.py "FreeCAD" FreeCAD.dmg; open FreeCAD.dmg

This example uses the built-in default arrow of the tool but I am sure someone will come up with a nicer background.

It looks like there are currently different scripts being used to create the stable release and the weekly builds. Are there plans to unify them?

do we have an image for this yet? since we are already using dmgbuild now adding the image should be trivial
