Windows: unlock the electron test suite (shebang fakes) #450
Description
Follow-up to #442. 31 electron test files write #!/usr/bin/env node fake CLIs and pass them as CODER_*_BIN. CreateProcess cannot execute those, so the Windows CI leg runs 44 of ~1220 tests. Each file has its own local writeFake helper — no shared one. A shared win32-safe fake helper would unlock the bulk of the suite on Windows.

Merged into the #397 branch. One writeFakeBin (electron/test/support/fakeBin.js) replaces 32 local shebang writers; POSIX writes the same bytes as before, win32 adds a .cmd wrapper cross-spawn can launch. Win32 CI leg goes from 4 files / 44 tests to 21 / 238. gh and fm stay POSIX-only and are listed as such — they execFile the fake directly, which cannot run a .cmd. Verified no assertion or it() block was removed in the migration.
