Fix Windows WinRT exception during glfwCreateWindow startup

[Copilot]

Windows throws a first-chance exception 0x8007007A (ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) inside _glfwInitWGL at SetPixelFormat during GLFW window creation. This is a known benign WGL initialization behavior that can cause issues when running under a debugger or with certain exception handlers.

Changes

• Added Windows SEH wrapper createWindowWithSEH to catch and handle the specific exception
• Exception filter only handles 0x8007007A, other exceptions pass through via EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH
• Logs exception code for diagnostics when caught
• Windows-only (#ifdef _WIN32), no impact on Linux/Mac builds

#ifdef _WIN32
    int wglExceptionFilter(unsigned int code, unsigned int* capturedCode)
    {
        *capturedCode = code;
        if (code == EXCEPTION_WGL_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) {
            return EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER;
        }
        return EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH;
    }

    GLFWwindow* createWindowWithSEH(int width, int height, const char* title, GLFWmonitor* monitor, GLFWwindow* share)
    {
        GLFWwindow* window = nullptr;
        unsigned int exceptionCode = 0;
        __try {
            window = glfwCreateWindow(width, height, title, monitor, share);
        } __except (wglExceptionFilter(GetExceptionCode(), &exceptionCode)) {
            log(Priority::Important, "caught Windows exception 0x" + ... + " during glfwCreateWindow");
            window = nullptr;
        }
        return window;
    }
#endif

Original prompt

During startup of alien there is an exception in glfwCreateWindow (inside GLFWbool _glfwInitWGL(void) at SetPixelFormat, "Exception thrown at 0x00007FF9FC37782A (KernelBase.dll) in alien.exe: WinRT originate error - 0x8007007A : 'Der an einen Systemaufruf übergebene Datenbereich ist zu klein.'.").
Find the reason and fix it.
