rouggy 9887b2aa78 feat(startup): accept a fixed-version WebView2 carried beside OpsLog
'The Evergreen installer will not install either' moves the problem out
of OpsLog's reach: the runtime is a Windows component, and on a managed,
offline or otherwise locked-down machine it may simply refuse.

Microsoft publishes the same runtime in a FIXED VERSION form — a folder
an application carries and points at, needing no installation and no
administrator. That is exactly this case, so OpsLog now looks for it
beside its own executable and uses it when it is there. The versioned
subfolder the download unpacks into is handled, because asking someone to
flatten it by hand is one more step to get wrong on a machine where
nothing starts.

No setting for it: that would be a question asked of the one operator
least able to answer it. The folder is either there or it is not.

The startup log also records the Windows build — the first thing anyone
diagnosing a runtime that will not install is going to ask for.

// It is the one dependency OpsLog cannot ship inside its own executable, and
// its absence is invisible: the process starts, Wails fails to create the
// browser environment, and on some machines that failure arrives as a silent
// exit rather than as an error we can print. So the version is read straight
// from where the runtime registers itself, and written to the startup log
// BEFORE the window is attempted — a log that says "WebView2: not found"
// answers the whole question in one line.
