Fixes #8718 Remove support for parsing Login Items from com.apple.loginitems.plist, keeping only traditional StartupItems from /System/Library/StartupItems/ and /Library/StartupItems/ directories. This was causing CI failures after recent macOS updates (15.7.2), seemingly due to changes in plist parsing APIs. The functionality seems to be no longer supported, see https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/lost-login-items.2073306/?post=25193038#post-25193038 https://eclecticlight.co/2022/06/21/how-helpers-are-changing-in-ventura/
