feat(desktop): open any chat in its own window (#43219)

Pops a session into a standalone, focused window for side-by-side work.
A secondary window loads the renderer at the session route with a
?win=secondary flag (ahead of the HashRouter '#'); it drops the global
sidebar plus the install/onboarding overlays and renders a single chat,
sharing the one local gateway over WS (no backend duplication). The main
process keys windows by sessionId so re-opening focuses the existing one
and self-cleans on close.

Open it via:
- ⌘-click (mac) / ⌃-click (win/linux) a sidebar session — the universal
  "open in new window" gesture. Archive moves to the ⋯ / right-click menus
  only, off the easy-to-misfire modifier-click.
- "New window" in the session ⋯ and context menus (link-external icon,
  i18n'd across en/ja/zh/zh-hant).

A standalone window has no left rail, so AppShell treats its edge as
uncovered and applies the titlebar inset — the chat title clears the
macOS traffic lights instead of hiding behind them.
