Merge the lid keep-awake without the administrator password (desktop)

The Mac app keeps a closed MacBook awake through the kernel's lid-sleep
switch, held by a child process of the app, instead of the root helper that
1.50.1 installed behind an administrator prompt. The old helper is no longer
installed or used; Keep This Mac Awake offers to remove it while its files
exist.
