Move the csr-active-config check to be after the Mac model check #143

Telling people to turn off SIP, then once they come back telling them they don't need to patch is counter-productive. Especially on Late 2013 iMacs which will surface the csr-active-config error before even realizing that they don't need the patches.

Moved this check further down on my fork which is completely identical in use and system support to the main 0.5.1 fork, except that I have added the iMac late 2009 to mid 2011 systems.

Problem with your patcher and this fork so far: iMac 2009 and 2010 will need opencore to boot the installer and later Big Sur. We would need to pull those config and activate it on the USB. On the long run there will be no way around this, if you ask me.

This will be some work. But iMac Mid 2011 will run out of the box including GPU detection.
