Colson Wilhoit 80968035bb MacOS detection rules tuning (#5667) ...

* Sync macOS detection rules with endpoint-rules logic

- Fix Bifrost Kerberos query logic (broken parentheses grouping)
- Add authenticate pattern and NinjaRMM exclusion to osascript phishing rule
- Update SCP privacy bypass to use 127.0.0.? loopback pattern
- Add wildcard EndpointSecurity pattern to kext unload rule

* Fix Safari settings rule to use targeted approach

- Change from broad catch-all with exclusions to targeted dangerous settings
- Only detect IncludeDevelopMenu and JavaScript setting changes
- Reduces false positives from benign Safari preference changes

* Add Parallels Desktop exclusion to Hosts File Modified rule

- Excludes /Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_naptd (5,074 alerts in 90 days)
