Mechanism for disabling Apple Intelligence features on macOS.

The tool leverages deprecated macOS restriction keys and preference forcing to disable Apple Intelligence, circumventing Apple's shift towards MDM-only 'Declarative Management' for `IntelligenceSettings`. This positions the tool as a workaround for individual users lacking MDM supervision.

This discussion reveals a critical technical challenge for `RemoveMacAI`: Apple's deprecation of direct restriction keys in favor of MDM-controlled `IntelligenceSettings` via 'Declarative Management.' The tool's current reliance on deprecated keys and preference forcing highlights a cat-and-mouse...
