fixes #20426; remove `maincommand` and `m` options since they are a no op since 2014 (#20429)
* bump macOS image on Azure CI to macos-11

##[warning]The macOS-10.15 environment is deprecated, consider switching to macos-11(macos-latest), macos-12 instead. For more details see https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/5583

* fix CI error

* fixes #20426; remove `maincommand` and `m` options since they are a noop since 2014 and causes confusion

fixes #20426

https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/commit/7f7b13a45f73c6d9dcca3ce8388833189d77426c#diff-d949f8c356fd2dc9ceedc6f3dbbd01e2c806269dd0a8ad6516facf589fa2c99a makes it a no op, but it causes a regression because it should add `expectArg(switch, arg, pass, info)` before the discard statement. It causes https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/20426 to happen. Without `expectArg(switch, arg, pass, info)`, `-mm:orc` is wrongly interpreted as `-m` and compiler, which doesn't make sense. It should either abort compilation or prints `argument for command line option expected: '-m'` message. Since they are a no op since 2014, let's remove it to clear the confusion. Let's wait and see whether it breaks something.

* add a changelog
