Added a note to step 3 of Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent for Mac users, for whom the system may continue to ask for SSH passphrase on every git push.

Why:

Following the directions given under Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent can result in Mac systems continuing to ask for SSH passphrase on every git push. The suggested edit resolves this problem, if imperfectly.

Closes: #23159

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Adding an extra line to the note for Mac users on Step 3 of Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent, instructing that ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 can be added to .zshrc or .zshrc to resolve the problem of being repeatedly asked for SSH passphrase.
