vfkit, krunkit: Wrong brew install path on Intel Macs #23038

Description

vmnet-helper brew install path is hardcoded to /opt/homebrew/opt/vmnet-helper/libexec/vmnet-helper, which is only correct on Apple Silicon (arm64). On Intel Macs, Homebrew uses /usr/local as its prefix (see https://docs.brew.sh/Installation), so the path should be /usr/local/opt/vmnet-helper/libexec/vmnet-helper.

This means findHelper() will never find a brew-installed vmnet-helper on Intel Macs and will always fall back to the legacy install path.
