fix(desktop): read HERMES_HOME from the Windows registry when env is stale (#46772)
A GUI app launched from Explorer inherits the environment block captured at
login, so a HERMES_HOME set via 'setx' AFTER login is invisible in process.env
even though the CLI (a fresh shell) sees it. The desktop then silently fell
back to %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes and reported 'No inference provider configured'
despite a valid configured home (#45471).

resolveHermesHome() now consults the live HKCU\Environment registry value on
Windows before the LOCALAPPDATA default. New windows-user-env.cjs helper parses
'reg query' output, expands %VAR% refs, and fails safe (returns null off-Windows,
on spawn error, or empty value). The registry value is normalized through the
same normalizeHermesHomeRoot() path as the env var for consistency.
