This is necessary for cross-compatibility, as if a user creates a .dmg
file on a newer version of MacOS, it may default to APFS which is
unreadable on MacOS 10.11 and lower.

Turns out you can't always use ExFAT. Switched to HFS+, which seems to work much better.

This now works on the macOS buildbot, so I'm going to go ahead and merge it.
