Correct the macOS uninstall instructions to use the actual package identifier (io.chef.inspec-enterprise) and file locations (/usr/local/bin/inspec symlink, /Library/Application Support/InSpec, and the underlying Habitat package under /opt/hab), verified against an actual installation. Also generalize the install guide's .dmg mount/unmount steps to avoid assuming an exact volume name.
