pluginval incorrectly reports universal bundles as failing to load

[JeffMcClintock]

A universal bundle contains both the macOS and also the Windows VST3 plugin binaries.

for example,

C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\VST3\PD303.VST3 └───Contents ├───MacOS ├───Resources └───x86_64-win

On Windows pluginval attempts to load not only the Windows binary in 'x86_64-win' folder, but also the binary in the 'MacOS' folder. Which asserts pluginval and displays an error.

The correct behavior on Windows is for pluginval to ignore any files in the 'MacOS' sub-folder.

I think this is probably a juce problem as it uses the juce plugin loading. Have you tried it with the juce audio plugin host demo?
