ProPresenter updates are safe: any installed copy counts as running, the newest version opens

- newest_of picks by CFBundleShortVersionString, not file name (ProPresenter.app sorted after ProPresenter 20.1.app)
- mac_start takes newest_of; auto-setup uses it for programs on the Companion Mac
- WS and SC switched over; NA's ProP restart re-rendered (same pick today)
