Summary: Enable the new Media Plugin Helper executable for the macOS GMP process by default on Nightly → Enable the new Media Plugin Helper executable for the macOS GMP process

To test this change, set media.plugin_helper_process.enabled to true in about:config and restart the browser. Then verify EME and OpenH264 decoding works as expected.
