Neil e27fc6af71 docs(macos): stop asserting when AppKit re-reads the press-and-hold key
Five places stated "AppKit reads the preference as the process starts" as
fact. That is the reason given for requiring a relaunch, and it is not
something this change ever measured.

Evidence points the other way: terminal emulators that register this key
after their process has started get key repeat in that same launch, which a
read-once-at-startup model cannot explain.

The relaunch requirement itself still looks right, but for a different and
verifiable reason: the write goes out through a separate `defaults` process,
so this app's own cached copy need not observe it. That is what the comments
now say, with the AppKit question left open rather than answered.
