fix: install notice showing in Chinese and not recognizing MSI install path

- Use app.getPreferredSystemLanguages() for reliable OS language detection
  instead of relying solely on app.getLocale() which returns Chromium's
  internal locale (was returning zh-CN on pt-BR systems)
- Support both Squirrel (%LOCALAPPDATA%) and WiX/MSI (Program Files)
  install directories when checking if app runs from expected location
- Extract matchLocaleTag helper for cleaner language resolution logic
- Add getAllExpectedInstallRoots to enumerate all valid install paths
