emozilla 928280ca2c fix(desktop): probe steps 4 & 5 of resolveHermesBackend before trusting
A user-reported failure on Windows-on-ARM: a pre-installed Python 3.13
on PATH makes findSystemPython() succeed, so resolveHermesBackend
returns a backend pointing at it -- but hermes_cli isn't in that
interpreter's site-packages. The spawn dies with ModuleNotFoundError
and the user sees a dead GUI instead of the first-launch installer.

Same shape can hit step 4 (existing `hermes` on PATH) when a stale
shim survives a partial uninstall.

Add cheap exit-code probes -- `python -c "import hermes_cli"` for
step 5, `<hermes> --version` for step 4 -- and fall through to step 6
(bootstrap-needed) on failure. install.ps1 then runs as if on a clean
box and the venv gets built.

Probes live in a standalone electron/backend-probes.cjs module so they
can be unit-tested with node --test, same pattern as bootstrap-platform.cjs
and hardening.cjs. New test file wired into test:desktop:platforms.
