Parallels desktop lookup via mdfind fails during backup operations

[dottedmag]

If a backup operation is in progress (so the backup snapshot or backup disk are mounted), then packer build for Parallels fails, as mdfind kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier '==' com.parallels.desktop.console, which is used to find location of Parallels, returns more than one result. See the log in gist for the failure during SuperDuper! backup.

Can be fixed by splitting mdfind output by line and trying the locations until one succeeds in order of likelihood (e.g. starting with /Applications, then /Volumes, and filtering out /private).

Packer 1.1.3, host MacOS 10.13

I haven't noticed this but this sounds correct. If you want to create a PR please go ahead, otherwise I'll try to look at it soon.
