feat(x): sign Windows builds with Azure Trusted Signing in CI (#783)
* feat(x): sign Windows builds with Azure Trusted Signing in CI

Wire windowsSign (packager + Squirrel maker) through Azure Trusted
Signing's signtool dlib. Signing activates only when the CI env vars
are present; local and mac/linux builds are unaffected. The Windows
job stages the dlib, metadata.json, and a modern SDK signtool under
C:\azsign (space-free paths — @electron/windows-sign splits
signWithParams on spaces).

Requires repo secrets: AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID,
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_ENDPOINT, AZURE_CODE_SIGNING_NAME,
AZURE_CERT_PROFILE_NAME.

* fix(ci): use renamed Microsoft.ArtifactSigning.Client NuGet package

Microsoft renamed Trusted Signing to Artifact Signing and delisted the
old Microsoft.Trusted.Signing.Client package, which broke the setup
step. The dlib inside kept its Azure.CodeSigning.Dlib.dll filename;
locate it by search instead of a hardcoded path so future package
reshuffles fail loudly rather than at a stale path.

* fix(ci): don't run bare signtool in the signing setup step

signtool with no arguments prints usage and exits 1, and the Actions
pwsh wrapper propagates the last native exit code as the step result,
failing the job after an otherwise successful setup. Log the signtool
version from file metadata instead.

* fix(x): stage only the current platform's node-pty prebuilds

Every build shipped all platforms' prebuilt binaries. Windows code
signing walks every .node file in the app and signtool hard-fails on
the Mach-O darwin pty.node ("file format cannot be signed"). Filtering
to the host platform fixes signing and drops dead weight from all
installers. The Linux CI-compiled prebuild and the node-gyp self-heal
path both still stage correctly.
