Running without root on macOS

[sandstrom]

The current install flow requires sudo:

sudo netbird service install
sudo netbird service

Ideally we should be able to run netbird without root.

Also, Docker Desktop has some examples on how to tackle the problem of running in user land (https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/permission-requirements/). The have a thin privileged agent, but the rest is user-space.

I don't think you can install/start service as non root user. You can probably run netbird as foreground service.
