fix(make-pdf): Bun.which-based binary resolution for browse + pdftotext on Windows

Extends v1.24.0.0's Bun.which + GSTACK_*_BIN override pattern (introduced in
browse/src/claude-bin.ts via #1252) to the two other binary resolvers in the
codebase: make-pdf/src/browseClient.ts:resolveBrowseBin and
make-pdf/src/pdftotext.ts:resolvePdftotext.

Same Windows quirks (fs.accessSync(X_OK) degrades to existence-check; `which`
isn't available outside Git Bash; bun --compile --outfile X emits X.exe), same
Bun.which-based fix shape, same env override convention.

Changes:
  - GSTACK_BROWSE_BIN / GSTACK_PDFTOTEXT_BIN as the v1.24-aligned overrides;
    BROWSE_BIN / PDFTOTEXT_BIN remain as back-compat aliases.
  - Bun.which() replaces execFileSync('which', ...) for PATH lookup. Handles
    Windows PATHEXT natively; no more `where`-vs-`which` branch.
  - findExecutable(base) helper exported from each module, probes .exe/.cmd/.bat
    after the bare-path miss on win32. Linux/macOS behavior is bit-identical
    (isExecutable short-circuits before the win32 branch ever runs).
  - macCandidates renamed posixCandidates (always was — /opt/homebrew, /usr/local,
    /usr/bin). No Windows candidates added; Poppler installs scatter across
    Scoop/Chocolatey/portable zips and guessing causes false positives.
  - Error messages get a Windows install hint (scoop install poppler / oschwartz10612)
    and `setx` example for GSTACK_*_BIN.
  - Pre-existing test 'honors BROWSE_BIN when it points at a real executable'
    was hardcoded /bin/sh — made cross-platform via a REAL_EXE constant
    (cmd.exe on win32, /bin/sh on POSIX). Was a Windows-CI blocker on its own.

Coordination: PR #1094 (@BkashJEE) covered browseClient.ts independently with a
narrower scope; this PR's pdftotext + cross-platform tests + GSTACK_*_BIN naming
are additive. Either order of merge works.

Test plan:
  - bun test make-pdf/test/browseClient.test.ts make-pdf/test/pdftotext.test.ts
    on win32 — 29 pass, 0 fail (12 new assertions: findExecutable POSIX/win32/null,
    resolveBrowseBin GSTACK_BROWSE_BIN + BROWSE_BIN + precedence + quote-strip,
    same shape for resolvePdftotext + Windows install hint in error message).
  - POSIX branch unchanged — fs.accessSync(X_OK) on Linux/macOS short-circuits
    before any win32 logic runs, matching the v1.24 claude-bin.ts pattern.
