docs(GUI): minimim macOS supported platform (#765)

Browse Source 
Since the Etcher GUI is based on Electron, it only runs on platforms
supported by Electron, which in the case of macOS, is 10.9 and newer
versions.

As an alternative, we propose using the Etcher CLI.

See: https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/tutorial/supported-platforms.md

Running in older macOS versions
-------------------------------
Etcher GUI is based on the [Electron][electron] framework, [which only supports
macOS 10.9 and newer versions][electron-supported-platforms].
You can however, run the [Etcher CLI][etcher-cli], which should work in older
platforms.
