Adds a new sub-command "follow" to -t system that restores the
"Selected Sound Output Device" mode for alerts/sound effects:
SwitchAudioSource -t system follow
This performs the two writes that System Settings → Sound makes when
the user picks "Selected Sound Output Device" from "Play sound effects
through":
1. AlertsUseMainDevice = true in com.apple.soundpref (CurrentHost).
2. kAudioHardwarePropertyDefaultSystemOutputDevice ← current
kAudioHardwarePropertyDefaultOutputDevice.
In addition, when AlertsUseMainDevice is true, -t output now also
mirrors the new device to system output, so alerts stay in sync with
the main output automatically. When the flag is false, behavior is
unchanged (pinned-mode preserved).
System Settings caches com.apple.soundpref on launch — fully quit and
reopen System Settings to see the popup label update.
