Set default launch policy to `.accessory` in macOS version

This commit is a further step in preventing Listless from launching upon
receipt of a CloudKit sync notification. Continued investigation has
suggested that the problem is that the app is always lauching with an
activation policy of `.regular`. It seems that the better approach is to
launch by default as `.accessory` and only promote to `.regular` when
there is evidence of explicit user intent to launch the app.
