Fix for Synapse 2.0 and MacOS Mojave

If you are having trouble getting Synapse to run stable on MacOS Mojave; try the following which fixed it for me. Goto Preferences> Security&Privacy>Privacy>Full DiskAccess Add all three Razer services: RzUpdater, RzDeviceEngine, Razer Synapse. It appears the drivers are using deprecated libraries to access the file system; and don't have enough access to do what they need to do with the new secure APFS. Prior to this my profiles kept vanishing on restart of the software and the software was completely unstable. After this change everything is working better than it has in months. So there you go N=1 evidence an a whole. 10 hours of testing. but looking up.
