Generalize executable_hashes table's executable path discovery logic (#38827)

<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or

https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/33522#issuecomment-3780274767

- Removes current "get the sha256 of a binary path directly"
functionality from the table as well, so it is now strictly for getting
the executable hashes for application bundles with the
`/Contents/Info.plist` > `CFBundleExecutable` and
`/Contents/MacOS/<executable>` structure

- [x] Added/updated automated tests
- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

For unreleased bug fixes in a release candidate, one of:

- [x] Confirmed that the fix is not expected to adversely impact load
test results


## fleetd/orbit/Fleet Desktop

- [x] Verified compatibility with the latest released version of Fleet
(see [Must
rule](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/workflows/fleetd-development-and-release-strategy.md))
- [x] If the change applies to only one platform, confirmed that
`runtime.GOOS` is used as needed to isolate changes
