- switched default logo path to use `/System/Library/PreferencePanes/SoftwareUpdate.prefPane/Contents/Resources/SoftwareUpdate.icns` (Big Sur does not have an icon for the Software Update app)
- moved `check_for_updates` run before `FORCE_DATE` check (prevents the deferral countdown clock from starting until after update cache has finished on first script run)

- added software update itemization (comma-separated list of updates and versions) - updated default message text to accommodate update list
- reworded messaging to be more consistent with how it's framed around the update list, and generally rephrased "critical" to "recommended" to match softwareupdate output syntax - iterated package version to match script version - better comments
- made script display `MSG_ACT_NOW` alert and launch System Preferences - Software Update on repeat for manual updating on Apple Silicon Macs (update action is manual since scripting `softwareupdate --list` is currently unsupported on arm64) - set update caching to only run on Intel Macs - removed Apple Silicon bailout - rewording of alerts and documentation to indicate potentially softer action at end of deferral period

Open to discussion on possibly adding a delay to this while loop. Maybe a sleep 60 before killall jamfHelper? Gives people a chance to save documents and quit apps before System Preferences reasserts itself.

Added sleep 60 below.
- updated version to 4.1 (changes constitute substantial new functionality or improvements while not impacting backward-compatibility as defined in SemVer specs)
