CI: Apple targets have been failing randomly as of late

[sezero]

As title says: See recent commits and/or pull requests.
Re-running the failed ones usually end up in success.

I see a few brew install fails.
Perhaps it's worth to wrap it in a for loop and retry a few times.

The ones I've seen fail when installing pkgconf

==> Pouring pkgconf--2.3.0_1.arm64_sonoma.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /opt/homebrew
Could not symlink bin/pkg-config
Target /opt/homebrew/bin/pkg-config
is a symlink belonging to [email protected]. You can unlink it:
  brew unlink [email protected]

To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
  brew link --overwrite pkgconf

To list all files that would be deleted:
  brew link --overwrite pkgconf --dry-run

Possible conflicting files are:
/opt/homebrew/bin/pkg-config -> /opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/0.29.2_3/bin/pkg-config
/opt/homebrew/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 -> /opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/0.29.2_3/share/aclocal/pkg.m4
/opt/homebrew/share/man/man1/pkg-config.1 -> /opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/0.29.2_3/share/man/man1/pkg-config.1

Homebrew/brew#18788 might be related

pkg-config is installed by default on the macos runners.
Starting from 0007451, we will no longer install pkg-config (or its newer pkgconf nephew)

Thank you!

SDL2 and release-2.30.x branches need similar massage: see failures
for today's commits in those branches

The satellite libs also seem to install pkg-config for Apple targets
and most possibly need similar treatment:
SDL_image, SDL_net: SDL2 branch only
SDL_rtf: main branch only
SDL_mixer, SDL_ttf: main and SDL2 branches

[madebr]

These branches need patches similarly to this one: dface78

Should I touch the satellite libs like that?

P.S.: release-2.30.x is missing the Windows 32 bit ARM workaround and keep failing at that.

Please do, or keep a mental note and do it when you need to do actual work on the repo?

I tried 01dee78, but am unsure this is a correct fix.

Done

Incorrect I guess: still failing.

I'm going to backport SDL3's ci build system to SDL2. Looks like I don't know how to set the Windows SDK version for Visual Studio CMake projects.
