fix(desktop): add --no-angle for Windows GPU crash and implement HERMES_DESKTOP_DISABLE_GPU

[annguyenNous]

Summary

Fixes #45226 — Hermes Desktop crashes on Windows with older Intel integrated graphics (WDDM 1.x drivers) due to the ANGLE graphics abstraction layer crashing the GPU process on startup (exit_code=-2147483645).

Changes

1. Add --no-angle flag for Windows: Forces Chromium to use the basic Direct3D renderer instead of ANGLE, preventing the GPU process crash on Intel integrated graphics.

2. Add --disable-gpu-compositing and --use-gl=disabled for Windows: Belt-and-suspenders approach to ensure stable rendering on Windows with problematic GPU drivers.

3. Implement HERMES_DESKTOP_DISABLE_GPU env var: The comment at line 136 documented this override but it was never actually implemented. Setting HERMES_DESKTOP_DISABLE_GPU=1/true/yes now forces software rendering regardless of platform.

Test Plan

• Test on Windows with Intel integrated graphics (the reported crash scenario)
• Verify HERMES_DESKTOP_DISABLE_GPU=1 forces software rendering
• Verify existing remote display detection still works
• Verify macOS/Linux behavior is unchanged (Windows-specific flags only)

Thanks for documenting the Windows Intel-GPU reproduction and the reported --no-angle workaround from #45226.

Problems

• The PR modifies apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs, but current main migrated that entry point to apps/desktop/electron/main.ts in 39d0945; the relevant pre-ready block is now at main.ts:163-194.
• The override portion is already superseded: bootstrap-platform.ts:67-76 parses HERMES_DESKTOP_DISABLE_GPU, and hermes_cli/main.py:5654-5660 provides the supported desktop.disable_gpu config bridge. The existing behavior is covered by bootstrap-platform.test.ts:71-85.
• No regression test accompanies the proposed Windows-only command-line switch policy.

Suggested changes

• Salvage only the still-unresolved automatic Windows no-angle / use-gl=disabled policy into apps/desktop/electron/main.ts before app.ready, if maintainers retain that workaround.
• Keep GPU configuration user-facing through desktop.disable_gpu and desktop.electron_flags, rather than adding another environment-variable surface.
• Add a focused Windows/non-Windows regression test for the retained switch policy.

Automated hermes-sweeper review.

Current main already implements this override through apps/desktop/electron/bootstrap-platform.ts:67-76 and exposes the supported config.yaml surface at hermes_cli/main.py:5654-5660. Please do not duplicate the user-facing environment-variable mechanism when salvaging.
