Adding Notepad++ for macOS — the first native port of the Notepad++ code editor to macOS.

What it is:

• Universal Binary — runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1–M5) and Intel
• Same features as Windows Notepad++: syntax highlighting for 80+ languages, plugin system, macros, regex search,
  split view, etc.
• Apple-notarized
