Add Nightly releases for macos < 11 with x86_64

[ejguan]

🚀 Feature

After 2022/07/07, the nightly releases for TorchText on macos are updated to 11_0 with amd64. However, there are still use cases with x86_64. Apparently, PyTorch still provides releases for both platforms.

Motivation

This causes CI failure from TorchData side as GHA is still using 10.9 version of mac machines to execute tests. When the workflow tries to install torchtext, it will fall back to the nightly releases from 2022/07/07 with the corresponding PyTorch nightly of 2022/07/07 . As we landed a private BC-breaking change from PyTorch Core, the CI becomes red with the domain tests.

Edit: And, for my local environment, we still have a bunch of people using mac without M-series chips. Without such support, we have to compile from source of TorchText

Maybe it is related to #1818
The migration to Xcode 12.5 might change the default CPU type.

However, the latest nightly build like this wheel and this conda job suggests they are built for x86_64.

What Python version on which platform are you seeing the issue?

I am sorry that I am wrong about M-series chips. It's about macos version < 11.

It becomes a problem for all python versions on 10.9 on GHA. For my local environment, it's macosx-10.9-x86_64.

If you take a look at all uploaded wheels on https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu/torch_nightly.html, you will find all wheels on macos are targeted for macosx_11_0_x86_64

PyTorch Core does support 10_9 for x86. It would be great that TorcText doesn't add extra requirement on the minimum version on the top of PyTorch.

I think you can specify MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to support it.

That makes sense. I think this issue from audio has the same cause.

pytorch/audio#2536

Made a PR #1835 to fix it.

While looking at the job log from the recent nightly, it seems that the compilation is done for 10.9

but the final packaging step is somehow using 11.0 (and actually there are warnings about the issue)
