#65121: Command Palette: Label can be incorrect for sites served over a CDN

----------------------------+---------------------------
The Command Pallet shortcut displayed in the admin bar is incorrect for
macOs users when their site is hosted behind a CDN that removes the User-
Agent HTTP header from requests passed through to the application server.
This is a relatively common on CDNs as a way to increase cache hits at the
edge.
As Control+K does not trigger the command pallete on macOS, this can lead
to confusion for users on such a configuration.
Upstream Report: [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/77636
GB#77636]
**Recommended Fix**
Recheck the User-Agent via JavaScript using `navigator.userAgent` and
update the string used in the admin bar if it's determined to be macOS.
**Reproduction Steps**
1. Buy a macOS computer/use BrowserStack on macOS.
2. In your `wp-config.php` file, add the code `$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']
= '';` to emulate a site behind a CDN stripping the header
3. Visit `/wp-admin`
4. Observe the shortcut displayed is incorrect
5. Remove the code added to your `wp-config.php` file to avoid confusion
later.
See upstream issue for screenshot.
