suggestion: add symbolic link to /Applications to disk image

For even quicker installation into /Applications (if that's where users prefer installing it to), it might be helpful to add an symbolic link to the disk image, rather than having to show the toolbar or open another window to have somewhere to drag the app to.

Thank you for the suggestion! I will see if I can add this step to the build process.

Are you using macdeployqt -dmg to make the .dmg? I haven't found anything online saying it's possible to add an /Applications alias using it, so maybe some other way of making the .dmg or some modification to macdeployqtplus upstream is needed.

@chrstphrchvz I have another suggestion to get a hassle free installation of Gridcoin into your application folder: Are you aware of my homebrew-jiro-casks repo? With this tap, installation of Gridcoin is as easy as brew tap git-jiro/jiro-cask && brew cask install gridcoin

Thanks for the suggestion. However since that involves CLI I think that's probably a more advanced use case, whereas for a more ordinary user, a .dmg with /Applications alias is the simplest thing next to getting it off the App store (which doesn't allow gridcoin or other mining-capable wallets). And for now I might be stuck with macports…
