Exclamation Please fix your postinstall script

The last few lines in your `postinstall` script in your flat/signed PKG is incorrect.

The intent is to open the app as the current user, whereas most enterprise users are not administrators.

This is bad:

open -a "/Applications/DisplayLink Manager.app"

This is good:

currentUser=$(/usr/bin/stat -f %Su /dev/console);
/bin/launchctl asuser $(/usr/bin/id -u "$currentUser") /usr/bin/open "/Applications/DisplayLink Manager.app"


In enterprise environments that use Jamf Pro to manage their fleet of macOS computers, all policies run as root.

Not even root can open an app in the user space (as the current user), so policies fail with error. The above provides the fix.

Hope to see 1.10.2 with the fix soon.
