Target: 44-x-y
Backport of #54842
See that PR for details. 44-x-y pins Squirrel.Mac at fffea30e4a and builds it with Electron's own GN patch (it predates #53660), so instead of rolling the pin this carries Squirrel/Squirrel.Mac#335 as patches/squirrel.mac/fix_don_t_leave_a_broken_app_behind_when_an_install_is_interrupted.patch, which applies cleanly on that pin. Not built locally (macOS-only); relying on the macOS CI legs.
Notes: Fixed interrupted macOS updates leaving a broken app behind.
