This pull request improves the detection and user guidance for the
remote-viewerSPICE client on macOS within the UDS SPICE transport scripts. The main enhancements include searching multiple common installation paths for theremote-viewerbinary and providing clearer installation instructions to users.Improvements to SPICE client detection:
direct.jsandtunnel.jsscripts now search forremote-viewerin multiple common locations (/Applications/RemoteViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/RemoteViewer,/opt/homebrew/bin/remote-viewer, and/usr/local/bin/remote-viewer) instead of assuming a single path. The scripts use the first found path, improving compatibility with various installation methods.
