Bug 1676296 introduced a TaskScheduler.jsm abstraction around scheduling OS-level tasks, and an implementation for Windows based on Task Scheduler. This ticket tracks adding an implementation for macOS based on launchd.
One thing worth noting here. At this time, there's no macOS installer and/or uninstaller. That means we have no clear point to run code to clean up old scheduled tasks. However, the clever folks at Steam use the WatchPaths launchd.plist key to do some additional clean up when their App is deleted, and we can do similar.

At the same time, remove the global define, which isn't necessary and
triggers some rebuilds. Nothing is using MOZ_UPDATE_AGENT right now
so it's safe to enable more broadly, and it will be used to gate new
background update work.

The bundle ID will be used to namespace OS-level tasks registered with
launchd on macOS.

As written, this will work with the synchronous Windows implementation
and the forthcoming asynchronous macOS implementation. But that's a
recipe for confusion, so let's be explicit and make this API async.
