The name of the job (aarch64-macos-build instead of 
aarch64-macos-14-base-build) and the "CIRRUS_VM_IMAGE_NAME: 
ghcr.io/cirruslabs/macos-runner:sonoma" line.

Yes, sorry, it was very messy in the master branch, too, partly because 
Cirrus-CI jumped between the namings of the CIRRUS_VM_IMAGE_NAME quite a 
bit, then at one point in time, they offered macOS 15 runners, then later 
took that change back and only offered macOS 14 runners again ... I didn't 
want to repeat the full tragedy here, so I took a shortcut in this patch.
If you don't like it, I think it's ok to also simply drop this patch, since 
this Cirrus job gets disabled by the last patch anyway (I thought I'd still 
include it in case someone wants to fix the macOS job in the 7.2 branch later).
