fix(install): check for a system cloudflared service without a password - #101

Conversation
On macOS, the named tunnel setup looked for a system cloudflared daemon through a root launchctl list. That asked for the Mac password in the middle of the installer, with no reason given. A user who did not enter it got three failed tries before the installer continued. launchctl print system lists the system daemons without root, so the check now uses it. A new installer test runs the named tunnel path with a stub cloudflared and fails if the installer asks for root.

Problem
On macOS, the named tunnel setup asked for the Mac password, with no reason given. A user who did not enter it got three failed tries before the installer continued.
Fix
The installer asked for the password to look for a system cloudflared service. It now uses a check that needs no password.
