`lightnind` is missing CLI options on darwin

[plebhash]

Describe the bug

I need to run clightning on my darwin setup. More specifically, I need to call lightningd --bitcoin-datadir=${bitcoin_dir}.

However, this CLI option is not available on the darwin build.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior (on darwin):

# nix-shell -p clightning
$ lightningd --bitcoin-datadir=.
2024-04-18T13:47:28.658Z INFO    lightningd: v24.02.1
lightningd: --bitcoin-datadir=.: unknown option

Expected behavior

Here's the expected behavior (validated on nixOS):

# nix-shell -p clightning
$ lightningd --bitcoin-datadir=.
2024-04-18T13:48:45.580Z INFO    lightningd: Creating database
2024-04-18T13:48:45.604Z UNUSUAL hsmd: HSM: created new hsm_secret file
...

Additional context

Not sure if this is relevant, but my main motivation is to have a stable development setup on darwin for this project: https://github.com/thesimplekid/cashu-rs-mint

It has a flake that deploys a local regtest+LN setup via shellHook.

This should be backported to 23.11 if a fix is to be merged.

@jonasnick any ideas why darwin build does not provide the --bitcoin-datadir (and possibly other) options? I don't see anything special in the build instructions.
