This updates README.md with detailed and well tested instructions for compiling python-mapnik on MacOS Catalina systems using the very common homebrew packages.

This is a surprisingly difficult task as of Sep 2020, with a few time consuming gotchas. Three of us have spent a couple days each getting this working, seemed worth documenting at the README level for others, without the detailed docs python-mapnik is not casually installable on OSX for most people who are not really determined.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

It seems like PRs aren't getting merged much on this repo, for anyone coming here who's been struggling to install on MacOS, I created build-python-mapnik-on-osx.sh:
https://gist.github.com/snickell/ee8f3d96f11f457c30ef5416a12d625e

Note: This will compile mapnik 4 and install it, so it uninstalls the older mapnik 3.0 from homebrew
