ci(windows-smoke): update over the running app, as the auto-updater does (#1)

After the smoke test, start the installed app, run the installer in
passive update mode (/P /UPDATE) while it runs, and only stop the app 3 s
later. Passes when the installer finishes by itself (no "Error opening
file for writing" dialog), exits 0, and has rewritten cinny.exe.

# cinny-desktop #1: an auto-update over the RUNNING app. tauri-plugin-updater
# starts the installer in passive update mode (/P /UPDATE) and the app then
# exits; if it was slow to let go of cinny.exe, NSIS stopped on "Error opening
# file for writing". The installer's pre-install hook (src-tauri/nsis/
# hooks.nsh) now waits for the file to be writable. Here the app stays up 3 s
# after the installer starts, then goes. Pass = the installer finishes on its
# own (no dialog), exits 0, and has rewritten cinny.exe (its timestamp was set
# to 2000 first; NSIS writes the build's own timestamp back).
