Fix macOS menu bar spacing configuration to use activation scripts

Browse source 
- Replace CustomUserPreferences with system.activationScripts.postUserActivation
- Use defaults -currentHost write commands that actually work
- Corrected values: NSStatusItemSpacing=12, NSStatusItemSelectionPadding=6
- Commands will run during darwin-rebuild to apply host-specific preferences
