This PR adds cleanup for two additional Zoom LaunchAgent files that are created by Zoom's auto-updater:

  • us.zoom.updater.gui.501.plist
  • us.zoom.updater.gui.501.login.check.plist

This can be reproduced :

  • Download the Mac ARM Zoom App from https://zoom.us/download?os=mac.
  • Choose to install only as the current user, not system-wide
  • The installer (on 2025-07-29) installs Version: 6.5.7 (60598).
  • using FreeMacSoft AppCleaner.app, drag'n'drop the Zoom App. AppCleaner shows these files are part of the Zoom installation. See screenshot below.

- Add cleanup for us.zoom.updater.gui.501.plist LaunchAgent
- Add cleanup for us.zoom.updater.gui.501.login.check.plist LaunchAgent
- These LaunchAgents are created by Zoom's auto-updater and should be removed during uninstallation

I think we should rather use a wildcard, as 501 is the user's id.
Edit: Done

- Replace specific UID '501' with wildcard '*' in LaunchAgent patterns
- This makes the cleanup more robust across different users and systems
- Patterns now match: us.zoom.updater.gui.*.plist and us.zoom.updater.gui.*.login.check.plist
