Mitchell Hashimoto 9d81a5f5ec ci: switch Apple notarization to an new account
The Ghostty Apple ID has been frozen. I'm working on figuring out how to
get it back. In the meantime, this switches the notarization to my
personal Apple ID.

I originally created the dedicated Apple ID to limit access since we
were using app passwords. But I've since discovered that we can create
API tokens that have limited access, so I don't think this is a problem
anymore.
