"Application Support" directory should not be hardcoded

Description
The path to the user's Application Support directory on Mac OS X is hardcoded as SUPPORT_FOLDER. This isn't the recommended way of accomplishing this. See here:
The function NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains() should be used instead.
This will protect against any problems in the future where the Application Support directory moves (if, for example, Apple decides to remove the space from the name, which would make at least some sense).
Present in r6053.

Looking at examples, NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains still requires to hardcode "Application Support" after finding the library directory. If we're going to have this hardcoded, we might as well just hardcode the tiny bit extra. Chances are that if Apple changes this, a lot of things will break in Transmission as well. Being a small opensource freeware app, it's easy to quickly release a fixed version if the time comes. I'm going to say leave at is for the speed and the reasons stated above.
