When automating macOS systems it's convenient to refer to the keys by their natural names, and for the VNC driver none of the existing special keys mapped to option, so this enables boot commands using the option key.

I see there's a copy of the docs in cmd/packer-sdc/internal/renderdocs/docs-partials/packer-plugin-sdk/bootcommand/BootConfig.mdx as well. Do I need to update those? If so, how?

The super key maps to ⌘ for the USB driver, but for the VNC
driver ⌘ is produced by left/right Alt, so we can't promise
that leftSuper/rightSuper produces ⌘.

@anshulsharma-hashicorp, @anurag5sh, @JenGoldstrich, would one of you have time to review this PR, or suggest someone else who could? I'd love to get this one merged in. It would make working with macOS VMs nicer.
