On macOS, replaces use of cocoasudo (renamed as UrBackup Client Administration), and uses a system AppleScript call instead.
Cocoasudo is now old, and doesn't appear to work properly - this resolves problems with the uninstaller not running correctly. Additionally cocoasudo has not been updated for 64-bit, so will not work on macOS 10.15+ anyway; whilst an AppleScript call isn't the most elegant way of achieving sudo escalation, it does currently work.
