vout_macosx: remove misleading user-facing error message about Quartz Extreme being unavailable (close #9777)

While it is strongly desirable to be present, the API behavior or the driver quality seem to have changed on OS X 10.9, so this alert is triggered way to often while video is actually being displayed just fine.

Log message is retained for debugging purposes.
