[OS X TeX] install spell checking dictionary for Bulgarian

[Roussanka Loukanova]

I'll try installing cocoAspell.pkg (2.5) during the week, hopefully. I'm
wondering whether the old package can be installed anew, on macOS Big Sur,
11.4. Perhaps your installation is fine because it's inherited, not a fresh
one.

Best Regards,
Roussanka
