Description
Part of: #9941
## Problem
`SUEnableInstallerLauncherService: true` is set in `Info.plist` and Sparkle is compiled in unconditionally. The Mac App Store handles updates natively; submitting an app that bundles Sparkle will cause automatic rejection.
## Affected files
- `src/gui/updater/sparkleupdater_mac.mm`
- `src/gui/updater/sparkleupdater.h`
- `src/gui/updater/CMakeLists.txt`
- `cmake/modules/FindSparkle.cmake`
- `admin/osx/mac-crafter/Sources/Utils/SparkleRepository.swift`
- `admin/osx/mac-crafter/Sources/Commands/Build.swift`
## Required change
Gate all Sparkle code and the `SUEnableInstallerLauncherService` Info.plist key on `NOT BUILD_FOR_APP_STORE` (see companion CMake issue).
