fix(win): route shell-outs through a windowless helper (no cmd.exe flash)

_popen/_popen-style shell-outs flash a cmd.exe console window on Windows. Add
Platform::runHiddenCapture() — CreateProcess + CREATE_NO_WINDOW capturing stdout on
Windows, popen on POSIX — and route the remaining shell-outs through it:
- GPU-aware idle detection (getGpuUtilization: "where nvidia-smi" / "nvidia-smi --query-gpu")
- xmrig discovery + version (findXmrigBinary "where xmrig.exe"; "<bin> --version", stderr merged)
- wallet-rebuild helper (app_network) — keeps its exit-code check via the new exitCode out-param

None of these are on the launch path (that was the daemon spawn, fixed in a2f84be); each
would flash a console only when it ran (idle-GPU mining, mining tab, wallet recovery).
