managedsoftwareupdate: when notifying the user of available updates, we now kill any instances of Managed Software Update.app if it's already open; then we launch Managed Software Update.app in the current console user's session. This prevents stale data from being presented to one or more users, and provides a cleaner signalling mechanism for Managed Software Update.app; it now displays updates only if any exist at launch. We no longer have to figure out when to try to display available updates later.
