`signin` disabled on macOS 10.13+

As of version **1.4.2** the `signin` command has been disabled on newer versions of macOS. This is an interim workaround to the crasher first identified in #107. > mas 1.4.2 was [never released](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/31058) through Homebrew, so it must besownloaded and installed manually from the [1.4.2 release](https://github.com/mas-cli/mas/releases/tag/v1.4.2) or built from source using Xcode. ## 😞 Situation In macOS High Sierra (10.13) Apple removed the `-[ISAccountService signInWithContext:replyBlock:]` method from the StoreFoundation private Apple framework which this app relies on to authenticate users through the `signin` command. I have done a lot of digging and debugging but have not found another API that works to authenticate a user with the Mac App Store. Users running older macOS versions (10.9-10.12) are unaffected. ## 👉🏻⌨️ Workaround Sign into the Mac App Store GUI app manually. Once signed in MAS app, the mas command should work fine. I know this is not an ideal scenario, especially for script automation. Hopefully, I'll find a real solution to this soon. Please 👍 this issue if you are affected by it.
