On BSD-based distro/MacOS, using cp -L -R {source}/ ignores files or directories with a leading dot. If users have GNU-based coreutils installed on their BSD/Mac system (via Nix for e.g.), cp -L -R {source}/ would also copy the source directory underneath the target directory, which is not what we want.
This PR changes both the copy_dir_contents_to_dir implementation for BSD and MacOS such that it works regardless of whether user has GNU or BSD coreutils installed.
