- Add ros-humble-mavlink.osx.patch to fix macOS endian function compatibility. macOS's <machine/endian.h> doesn't define htole16/le16toh etc., so we include <libkern/OSByteOrder.h> and define macros mapping to OSSwapHostToLittleInt* and OSSwapLittleToHostInt* functions. - Move mavlink and mavros from Linux-only section to the "not wasm32 and not win" section in vinca.yaml to enable building on macOS. - Add build_number: 14 for mavlink, libmavconn, mavros_msgs to trigger rebuilds. Tested successfully on osx-arm64: mavlink, libmavconn, mavros-msgs, and mavros all build without errors.

Add build_number entries to trigger rebuilds
Details
macOS's <machine/endian.h> doesn't define the htole16, htole32, htole64, le16toh, le32toh, le64toh functions that Linux provides via <endian.h>. The patch includes <libkern/OSByteOrder.h> and defines macros mapping to the macOS equivalents (OSSwapHostToLittleInt* and OSSwapLittleToHostInt*).
