apps: auto-install the status-bar extension on Open Project in VS Code

Both apps now bundle vscode-extension/ (mac build-app.sh copies it into the app
Resources; windows csproj copies it next to the exe) and, right before launching
VS Code, refresh it into ~/.vscode/extensions/garthvh.fauxclaude-status. So the
local window always has the status-bar llama and it stays current as the
extension changes — no manual copy. Best-effort; a running VS Code picks up the
refresh on its next start. Verified both apps bundle the files; Windows
compile-checked (0 errors).
