[MAC] Zenmap — New authorisation wrapper (PR)

Hello devs,

I am writing to you because I need feedback concerning my last Pull Request on Github (#399 
<https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/399>).
I’ve been working on replacing the old authorization wrapper in Zenmap for Mac OS X. 

The aim was to replace the current deprecated AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges function into 
zenmap/install_scripts/macosx/zenmap_auth.c by a newer alternative.
After investigation, it seems like our best option is to use an applescript script (discussed with my mentor Dan), that 
I wrapped into an Objective-C file.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments, either on Github or via email on dev () nmap org, so 
everyone can stay updated!

Thank you for your time,
VincentD
