osx_defaults: add dict support (#11659)

* osx_defaults: add dict support

* add changelog frag

* osx_defaults: fix dict idempotency by using plutil -extract for type-preserving read

The previous approach piped `defaults read` output (old-style plist text)
through `plutil -convert json`. Old-style plist loses boolean type info
(booleans appear as 1/0, indistinguishable from integers), causing the
comparison to fail and reporting changed=True on every run.

Fix by exporting the domain binary plist to a temp file and using
`plutil -extract key json` which correctly preserves all plist types
(booleans stay true/false, integers stay integers, etc.).



* change param from bool to str

* Apply suggestion from review

* Update plugins/modules/osx_defaults.py
