Downstream Change Summary
We are removing the default dbpath for macOS:
- strongly encourage the desired behaviour (use a packaged install) via docs
- also inform users about the option of creating and specifying a dbpath via docs (eg using a path in their home directory)
Description of Linked Ticket
macOS Catalina runs in a dedicated, read-only system volume. Consequently, the default dbpath of "/data/db" is not writeable. This issue is discussed in more detail in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58283257/mongodb-cant-find-data-directory-after-upgrading-to-mac-os-10-15-catalina
Since this default will not work on Catalina and later, we should remove the default dbPath for macOS.
