Updates in 33.0

• Removed searches for cached DMG and sparseimages (addresses #480).
• Added experimental --check-activity option. This checks for an active meeting when using --reinstall or --erase options, and quits silently if so (#483, thanks @amadotejada for the idea, and thanks to the folks of installomator for the improved function, and to @BigMacAdmin for pointing me in that direction).
• Bumped swiftDialog version to 2.4.2 except for systems running macOS 11 which still get 2.2.1.
• The installer package now includes both swiftDialog 2.4.2 and 2.2.1, and the postinstall script determines which version to install on the system based on the system OS.
  • NOTE: This also limits the package installation to macOS 11 and newer. If you wish to use erase-install on macOS 10.15 or older, it is recommended to use v27.3.
• --fetch-full-installer no longer attempts to set a seed program using seedutil as this functionality has been removed since 13.4 and it's unlikely that betas for older major OSs will ever be listed again. Therefore, the --seedprogram option has been removed (it was already superfluous in the mist-cli workflows). To list/use beta versions in either normal (mist-cli) mode or with --fetch-full-installer, add the --beta option.
• Switched to using the zsh function is-at-least for simpler version comparisons throughout the script (thanks to the folks of installomator for the inspiration).

Bugfixes in 33.0

• Removed quotes from the value obtained from any inputted --parameter="value" option.
• Added missing --credentials=XYZ option (previously only --credentials XYZ worked) (thanks @allanp81).
• Fixed the --fetch-full-installer option from failing due to a bug in the code change made in v31.0 to remove seedutil options (addresses #479 and #488).
• Fixed the simultaneous use of --sameos and --update options, so that an outdated installer of the same OS as the system will be replaced when using both these optipons together (addresses #485).
• Removed the previous bugfix that was introduced in version 30.2 to workaround a bug in mist-cli at the time that would list RCs as regular builds.
