test(browser): cover warm_agent_browser_npx_cache's hardened behavior

Full rewrite of test_browser_npx_warmup.py for the Popen-based
credential-scrubbing, PATH-propagation, and process-tree-kill rework:
argv shape, env scrubbing, PATH merge for managed-only npx, POSIX
process-group creation, Windows CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP, whole-tree
kill (not just the PID) on timeout with a bounded post-kill drain, and
_kill_process_tree's own POSIX/Windows/failure paths directly.

Also fixes test_windows_subprocess_no_window_flags.py's matching
regression test, which still mocked subprocess.run and a shutil.which
signature that didn't accept the path= kwarg _resolve_npx_bin's
extended-path rung now passes; its creationflags assertion becomes a
bitwise check since Windows now ORs CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP in
alongside the console-hiding flag.

"""Tests for tools.browser_tool.warm_agent_browser_npx_cache (#43564, security

agent-browser was moved out of root package.json dependencies and now
resolves lazily via `npx agent-browser`. warm_agent_browser_npx_cache() is
the fire-and-forget helper `hermes update` / `hermes doctor --fix` call to
pre-fetch it so the first real browser-tool invocation in a session doesn't
pay npx's registry-lookup cost. It must never raise and must accurately
report success/failure via its return value — hermes_cli/doctor.py's
`--fix` path branches on that return value; hermes_cli/update_cmd.py calls
it fire-and-forget inside its own try/except and ignores the result.

runs registry-fetched, potentially install-scripted npm code on every
`hermes update` — not only when a browser tool is actually used), must pass
--ignore-scripts (AGENT_BROWSER_NPX_SPEC is a floating ^0.26.0 range, not an
exact pin), and must kill the whole process tree — not just the top-level
npx PID — on timeout.
