access: keep screen capture module compiling on macOS 15+

When targeting macOS 15+, CGDisplayCreateImageForRect is marked as
obsoleted and it breaks compilation, even though we build dynamic
modules and the API is still there.

To prevent that, override the SCREEN_CAPTURE_OBSOLETE macro to strip the
obsoleted attribute while preserving the introduced and deprecated
attributes.

This lets the module compile on macOS 15+ SDKs with a deprecation
warning.
