Upgrade the MacOS runner used in old branches (WP <= 6.3)

[desrosj]

For the Test Build Process workflow in branches <= 6.3, the macos-13 runner is currently used. This image is deprecated and set to be removed entirely in December 2025.

These branches use Node.js 14.x. This complicates things because that version of Node.js never published a build that supports arm64. This means updating to macos-14 or macos-15 is not possible.

Thankfully, there is another option: macos-15-intel. This image uses the x86_64 environment, so this can be used without having to upgrade the version of Node.js these branches use. The macos-15-intel image will be the last x86_64 image published for GitHub Actions and will be supported until August 2027.
