PermissionsDarwin wiki fix

A bit off-topic:
Are you actually able to debug anything on 10.15 with SIP enabled?

I was not able to debug anything the last time I checked, even with the correct signature and entitlements. And I don't seem to be the only one:
* https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24069 
* https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/377934/mysterious-gdb-hangs-after-clean-build

I have done some digging a couple of months ago (https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2019-09/msg00004.html), but didn't have the time to investigate further.

Thanks,
Felix

Hi,

Information is missing in https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/PermissionsDarwin

On macOS 10.15, when you create the certificate, the default alias is set
to your email address. This needs to be set to gdb-cert too. This is
implicit in the `security find-certificate -c gdb-cert` output but is not
specified.

Without that, when you get to the `codesign --entitlements
gdb-entitlement.xml -fs gdb-cert $(which gdb)` stage, you get:

error: The specified item could not be found in the keychain.

Can someone update the wiki?

Thanks
