Describe the restart without naming one variable

* Guide the user to the extension approval switch

* Allow uninstalling while the extension waits for approval

* Show the approval instruction in larger orange text

* Leave opening System Settings to the macOS alert

* Shrink the approval instruction slightly

* Hide the setup log

* Add a button that opens System Settings while approval is pending
