Disable file provider feature for macOS 13 Ventura #10018

Description

@i2h3

See #9927 - for now, we need to disable the file provider feature for macOS 13 Ventura because it is completely incompatible and a solution cannot be estimated at this point because this is not about a code fix. Instead of letting users run into a broken feature, do not offer it in the first place.

Goals

These requirements only apply to macOS 13 Ventura, not to any later major version of macOS. This needs run time checks for the macOS major release version.

  • Existing file provider domains which are found need to be removed gracefully (leaving dirty user data, as it should already be).
  • Disable the file provider ("VFS") for every account, should it be enabled.
  • Hide the file provider ("VFS") user controls in the app settings.
  • When configuring a new account either in the wizard or later on, the file provider ("VFS") used to be activated by default without classic sync being enabled. This needs to behave differently on macOS 13 Ventura: The classic sync needs to be the default instead of the file provider which must not be activated.
