macOS DMG background image does not display properly on install #1804

Describe the bug

macOS DMG for Plover 5.1.0 doesn't not properly display the background image for installation. May also want to consider if the build process should utilize a tool like https://github.com/create-dmg/create-dmg if not in use already to avoid such issues in future.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download from releases the macOS DMG for Plover 5.1.0 (named "plover-5.1.0-macosx_12_0_universal2.dmg")
  2. Open the DMG
  3. Observe that you see a ".background.tiff" file rather than the image being shown as the background of the DMG's folder.

Expected behavior

I would expect the .background.tiff to be shown properly with the graphic instructing users to drag the app to the Applications folder.
