Related issues and/or pull requests

I did not open issues for both fixes since the cause is evident.

1. remove-macpackage-salt uses file.absent, but is referenced by salt-minion onchanges_in requisite as cmd: remove-macpackage-salt
2. There is no group root on MacOS:

----------
          ID: permissions-minion-config
    Function: file.managed
        Name: /private/etc/salt/minion
      Result: False
     Comment: Group root is not available
     Started: 09:04:11.330316
    Duration: 2.895 ms

3. The unless requisites on two MacOS-specific states always evaluate to false, causing a reinstall on every run on MacOS. This is caused by an incorrect shell command.

Describe the changes you're proposing

• Fix faulty onchanges_in requisite on salt-minion for remove-macpackage-salt.
• Include MacOS in the list of OS where the root user's primary group is wheel (correction: staff, but wheel exists at least. correction^2: It is wheel, staff is the admin user's primary group).
• Fix incorrect unless shell command on salt-minion and download-salt-minion on MacOS.

Pillar / config required to test the proposed changes

Additional context

Thanks for the PR, @lkubb. It would be great if we had MacOS testing running in the CI but we haven't got that far yet.

@noelmcloughlin Do you still have access to MacOS minions that you can test this on?

Any updates on this PR? :) Disregarding the missing root group, the issues described here can be retraced by checking the code, which cannot work as intended in its current form.
