Autospawn fails on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)

macOS 10.13 changed some rules around forking, which causes PulseAudio's autospawn to fail.

Reproduction: Assuming the daemon is not running, this will fail with "Connection refused": $ pactl stat

Workaround: Set the environment variable OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY to YES $ export OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES $ pactl stat

Tested with 11.1 compiled for High Sierra from Homebrew.
