fix: Address Joevt's PR review requests - technical fixes

Technical fixes addressing all Joevt's feedback in PR #4:

• Fixed sw_vers typo in CI workflow (swvers → sw_vers)
• Added conditional compilation for kIOMainPortDefault/kIOMasterPortDefault
  - kIOMainPortDefault for macOS 10.12+ SDKs
  - kIOMasterPortDefault for older SDK compatibility
• Restored legacy macOS compatibility (IOConnectMethodStructureIStructureO)
  - Preserves Mac OS X 10.4+ support
  - Maintains ppc, ppc64, i386 architecture compatibility
• Fixed Makefile architecture and SDK issues
  - Restored missing version variables (is10_4 through is10_8)
  - Added arm64 support for universal binaries (Big Sur+)
  - Restored important makefile comment
• Resolved duplicate postinstall scripts
  - Both scripts now use /Library/Extensions for modern macOS
  - Ensures SIP compatibility

All changes maintain backward compatibility while adding Apple Silicon support.
Build tested successfully on macOS 15.6 ARM64 with universal binaries.
