[Feature] Sync with Apple MacOS Photos

The feature

Currently, I see no way to continuously sync Apple MacOS Photos library with Immich.
You can bulk upload one, but there is no way to add new photos as they are added to Photos.

I would imaging that this feature would look like this:

• All new photos that are in the MacOS Photos app would be uploaded to Immich
• All deleted photos would be removed from Immich
• All updated / edited photos would be updated in Immich

Basically, it would be the same functionality that the iOS app has, but works with Photos on Mac instead.

Thank you for the great work!

macOS Photos should sync with iOS Photos, so photos added that way can get synced into Immich through the iOS app. However, deletions and other changes won't be reflected to Immich.

There are quite a few other issues with doing it that way. Photos MacOS app doesn't transfer quite a few items to the iPhone, such as photo keywords.
When syncing directly with Photos all of those missing items can be transferred.
