rouggy a8e870e098 fix(update): the relaunched OpsLog was starting invisibly
The relaunch after an update called hideConsole on the command that
starts the new build. That sets SysProcAttr{HideWindow: true}, which on
Windows becomes SW_HIDE in the STARTUPINFO handed to CreateProcess — and
Windows applies it to the first top-level window the new process shows.
So the updated OpsLog started correctly, took the single-instance mutex,
opened the logbook and connected the rig, and never appeared.

That is the report, in full: a process in the task manager, no window,
no autostart programs, and ending it then launching OpsLog by hand
working every time. Two operators, both on 0.27.23.

Why 0.27.19 did not fix it: that commit fixed the other half of the same
symptom — the new instance being less patient than the old one is slow —
which was real and is still fixed. The window was never part of it.

Where it came from: removing the PowerShell helper. Start-Process
launched the exe with a normal show; the direct exec.Command that
replaced it borrowed hideConsole from the console tools next to it,
where hiding a console window is exactly right and where the three
remaining callers (tasklist, taskkill, the deferred-swap PowerShell)
still belong.

The proof it was this and not the waiting: OpsLog relaunches itself in
two places, and RestartApp — the database switch — was byte-identical
except that it never called hideConsole. It has never been reported
broken. Both now go through relaunchCmd, so the rule lives in one place
with the reason written down, rather than in two call sites that differed
by one line.

Two tests: relaunchCmd leaves SysProcAttr nil, and update.go does not
call hideConsole at all.
