Bug Description
Running syncdaemon on macos fails because it cannot find syncdaemon.conf.
On windows or linux, the install process takes care of copying user data like this to a known location.
On macos, this should be done at first run by copying the data from within the app wrapper to a user-visible location.
NOTE: Dirspec may also need to add mac-specific paths for some of these locations, since although the linux defaults will work, they are not the expected location and using them may break some tools, and will certainly run afoul of the app sandbox.
