fix(macos): disable gateway launchd job when switching to remote mode

Previously the stop() function had an early return when in remote mode,
which skipped disabling the launchd job. This caused the gateway daemon
to restart every 10 seconds due to KeepAlive, logging repeated 'Gateway
start blocked' messages.

Fixes #2433
