Completely reset TCC services database in macOS

Note: Both the system and individual users have TCC databases; run the script as both
      a user and as root to completely reset TCC decisions at all levels.

2018-08-15: Resetting the 'Location' service fails; unknown cause
2018-08-16: Confirmed the 'All' service does not really reset _all_
            services, so individual calls to each service is necessary.

# USAGE: ./rmSMB_Illegals.sh path

# Find searches through each file on a filesystem and passes the filenames to a
# function that tests for the presence of illegal characters and remediates.
# Bad characters are either removed or replaced with a ``-''.

# This has been tested on APFS on macOS 10.13.5. It'd be pretty safe to run this
# on a mounted volume, but it'd be nicer to test on Synology Linux and have it

# An overly complicated SIP config checker

# This is a technically interesting implementation because it does not rely on csrutil
# Instead it queries the kernel directly for the current configuration status
# This means, for example, in environments where SIP has been disabled and csrutil has
# been removed or modified (say, with DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH), as long as python can run you
# can still check status

# Additionally, checking the nvram csr-active-config setting isn't accurate now with
# 10.12.2+, since running "sudo csrutil clear" deletes the variable until reboot,
