On MacOS we can not modify the binary after build due to hashes and verifications. This PR allows the embedded config to be written to a stub file (shell script) which can be used later to bootstrap the offline collector.
This approach is a bit more complicated but will also be useful on Windows where the repack operation invalidates the signature. We can still use this same approach on Windows too without needing to resign the binary.
