Add macOS support to C4D importer (#5516)

The latest Cineware SDK explicitly asserts macOS support in its
documentation, but Assimp's C4D importer only works with Windows MSVC
targets. Let's improve its portability by refactoring importer code to
not depend on MSVC-only data types and quirks, and add support for linking
against the universal macOS static libraries provided in the Cineware
SDK.

Note that the C4D importer still cannot support Linux platforms because
Maxon does not provide the necessary precompiled Cineware libraries for
that platform. Windows MinGW targets are also out of the question as the
MinGW toolchain uses compiled libraries in a different format.
