This keeps only the macos-14 jobs, which run on Apple Silicon M1, and removes the macos-13 jobs, which ran on x86-64. Other operating systems jobs continue to run on x86-64 machines (and none on ARM, yet). Only the macOS jobs are removed. This change leaves Python 3.7 without any macOS test job. That is probably okay, since it has been end-of-life for some time, and it remains tested on Ubuntu and Windows.
Currently they are the same. The macos-latest label will move to later versions automatically in the future, like the ubuntu-latest and windows-latest labels that we are already using. In this repo, the macos-14 label had been used originally because it was added before the migration of macos-latest to be macos-14 was completed. See github/roadmap#926. It was kept for clarity of constrast with the macos-13 jobs that were also in use, some for the same Python versions. Now that the macos-13 jobs have been removed in c2bbaf4, the macos-latest label can be used here without confusion.

This keeps only the
macos-14jobs, which run on Apple Silicon M1, and removes themacos-13jobs, which ran on x86-64. This relates to the commented discussion in #1944. There would also be the option of keeping some of them, but removing all of them decreases the workload the most while also being the simplest.It also uses the label
macos-latestinstead, which is currently equivalent tomacos-14.macos-latestand the benefit of using it is presented in the second commit message.Other operating systems' jobs continue to run on x86-64 machines (and none on ARM, yet). Only macOS jobs are removed.
