fix(electron): block executable launch via shell.openPath (#8668)
* fix(electron): block executable launch via shell.openPath

window.ea.openPath is reachable by any plugin, same-origin iframe plugin, or
renderer XSS, and its guard only blocked UNC/remote paths (NTLM leak,
GHSA-hr87). shell.openPath hands a local file to the OS handler, and on
Windows ShellExecute runs .bat/.cmd/.vbs/.hta/... from a plain file with no
exec bit. Chained with a writable-dir drop (e.g. FILE_SYNC_SAVE into the
local-file sync folder) or a malicious synced FILE attachment clicked by the
user, that is renderer -> native code execution bypassing the nodeExecution
consent gate.

Add hasExecutableFileExtension() (normalizes Windows trailing dots/spaces and
NTFS alternate data streams) and refuse those paths at the openPath sink.
Applied at the sink, not in the shared isPathSafeToOpen, so link/image
rendering (where a remote https://.../x.exe is legitimate) is unaffected.

* fix(electron): close # filename bypass in openPath executable gate

The executable-extension check split every path on `?`/`#` to drop a URL
query/fragment, but `#` is a legal Windows/NTFS filename char (and both `#`
and `?` are legal on POSIX). For a bare filesystem path that split truncated
the real filename: `C:\sync\evil.txt#.bat` was read as `.txt` and allowed,
yet ShellExecute runs it as `.bat` — defeating the gate via the same
drop-a-file-then-openPath vector the fix targets. Gate the query/fragment
split behind an actual `file:` scheme so real filenames keep their extension.

Also add well-known ShellExecute/launcher vectors the curated denylist
missed: settingcontent-ms, appref-ms, library-ms, wsc, chm, hlp, diagcab,
msix/appx family (Windows) and pkg, terminal, fileloc, inetloc (macOS).

Adds regression tests for both.

* fix(electron): require file:// (not bare file:) before query/fragment split

The executable-extension gate stripped a URL query/fragment for any string
starting with `file:`. On POSIX `#`, `?` and `:` are all legal filename
chars, so a file whose name merely starts with the literal `file:` (e.g.
`file:notes.txt#.sh`) was mis-parsed as a URL and its real `.sh`/`.desktop`
extension hidden. Require the `//` of an actual `file://` URL so only genuine
URLs get the query/fragment split; bare paths keep their real extension.
