feat: Support macOS Adobe Media Encoder log filenames

Browse source 
Windows AME uses AMEEncodingLog.txt in the version directory.
macOS AME uses Adobe Media Encoder Log.txt in the logs subdirectory.

Updated readAMELogs() to check for both naming conventions:
1. First tries Windows filenames (AMEEncodingLog.txt)
2. Falls back to macOS filenames (Adobe Media Encoder Log.txt)

This allows the job manager to work with either platform.
Also updated docstring to document platform differences in both
log file locations and encoding (Windows uses UTF-16 LE, macOS uses UTF-8).
