[macOS] Suggestion: make admin password prompt optional

See original GitHub issue

Preflight Checklist

I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

Starting with v0.7, Rancher Desktop requires the admin password for assigning a routable IP to the VM (by creating /opt/rancher-desktop/bin/vde_{vmnet,switch} and /etc/sudoers.d/rancher-desktop-lima).

Some users may feel this less secure than v0.6. I also guess some enterprise users can’t even install v0.7.

Proposed Solution

Allow disabling vde_vmnet and falling back to v0.6 behavior.

Is Issue #1150 related to this?

I don’t think so. Note that kim has been removed from RD for the next release, which will run buildkitd natively as a service, so things will look a bit different very soon.

This issue is being replaced by #1224 for running without sudo and #1227 for making networking configurable.
