bug#6404: 23; NS: system scroll bar preference ignored

[David Reitter]

Some of them. The defaults of highlight color for example I remember were imported.

The scrollbar settings, I recall, are not.

Rather than fixing this in a piecemeal fashion, an Emacs port that uses higher-level system APIs (and does not implement Emacs settings for such UI details) would be the more realistic option. It could co-exist with the low-level Emacs port.

Does Emacs respect any such system settings on macOS?
