allow macOS CI tasks to run immediately

The macOS tasks were, by default, blocking on the portable source generation.
However these tasks do not use the portable source or any prior stage’s
artifacts. Now that we have moved to shared macOS runners without caching, the
macOS CI tasks are the limiting factor on CI runtime. Cutting this dependency
should meaningfully impact this.
