#49118: chore: reclaim macOS disk space
Merged
Description of Change
GitHub actions released a new macOS-15 runner and it doesn't have as much free disk space as the previous image:
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/releases/tag/macos-15%2F2025.1126 and this caused releases to fail with an out of disk space error. Digging into it, with the old image we were able to make about 157GB free; the new image we only were getting 134GB free. This PR updates our disk space cleanup to reclaim more disk space so that we once again have +150GB free.
