Use the correct file location for `SoftwareUpdate` plist.

I'm not sure if something changed in macOS or if this ever worked (@treffynnon, who originally added this might know 🤷).

I've tried both true and false for system.defaults.SoftwareUpdate.AutomaticallyInstallMacOSUpdates and nothing seems to change in System Settings as I would have expected it to.

I did discover that there's a /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist on my mac which does appear to reflect the Software Update settings.

$ plutil -p /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist

{
"AutomaticallyInstallMacOSUpdates" => 0
"LastAttemptBuildVersion" => "14.5 (23F79)"
"LastAttemptSystemVersion" => "14.5 (23F79)"
"LastBackgroundSuccessfulDate" => 2024-07-02 01:19:50 +0000
"LastFullSuccessfulDate" => 2024-07-02 16:26:36 +0000
"LastRecommendedMajorOSBundleIdentifier" => ""
"LastRecommendedUpdatesAvailable" => 0
"LastResultCode" => 2
"LastSessionSuccessful" => 1
"LastSuccessfulDate" => 2024-07-02 16:27:14 +0000
"LastUpdatesAvailable" => 0
"PrimaryLanguages" => [
0 => "en-US"
1 => "en"
]
"RecommendedUpdates" => [
]
}

I was able to write to this file and get the expected results in System Settings.

$ sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist AutomaticallyInstallMacOSUpdates -bool true

This leads me to believe that the proposed changes will work as expected (at least on a MacBook Pro with an Apple M3 Max running Sonoma 14.5 😅).
