fix(updater): verify the signer identity, not just the seal, on macOS updates #1588
MacosSparkleInstaller._verifyCodesign runs codesign --verify --deep --strict on the downloaded bundle. That proves the seal is intact, not who signed it: any validly signed (even ad-hoc) bundle in the zip passes and replaces the installed app.
