…n mismatch * Use obs-client.node included in OBS.app bundle. This way if developer were to update node dependencies etc it wont cause a version mismatch * update readme example to indicate developer has to use an abs path. Cant use ~ for CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
* filter for macos (optional but makes code more explicit)

Description
Fixing local mac development issue where there was an edge case for a version mismatch between client native node vs obs64. Also update README to demonstrate user is required to use absolute path for
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIXMotivation and Context
If developer is using OSN.app bundle (so browser sources work due to Google Chromium restrictions where it needs an app bundle to find the
obs64helper apps to enable the browser), then there was an edge case where desktop/node_modules/obs-studio-client.node file could end up with a version mismatch against OSN.app/distribute/bin/obs64. Updating themodule.tsfile to look for the native node module in the developer-only OSN.app bundle (instead of the other desktop/node_modules/obs-client.node file) to resolve any possibility of a version mismatch.How Has This Been Tested?
Built a Desktop app bundle and made sure that still worked. Also verified the local build worked properly when ran directly via
yarn startor via visual studio code.Types of changes
