Don't skip color fonts on macOS
This allows emoji to be displayed using a Color Emoji font without
the user having to use 'set-fontset-font'.
* src/macfont.m (macfont_list): Don't skip color fonts.

(Still catching up from several weeks away.)
If memory serves, this ability was added to the ns and mac ports back before it was functional in GNUstep or typical GNU/Linux distributions, and so someone (another memory says "RMS") asked that it not be enabled by default, to avoid making the macOS version of Emacs more featureful than the free versions.
Since that's no longer true, if my memory is correct, this change should be a nice addition.
Hope that helps,
