misc: convert @packages/launcher tests from mocha to vitest and always prefer 64-bit install paths to 32-bit

[AtofStryker]

• Closes N/A

Additional details

Converts the @packages/launcher tests to vitest from mocha.

Snapshots

snapshots should mostly be 1:1 but the vitest snapshots do include the versionRegex. The findAppParams snapshot values in the windows snapshot are not present because we do not actually calculate these values in the code for windows. They look like they came from the MacOS detector at some point due to the values populated in the snapshot, all to say these are not expected to be carried over into the new snapshots.

Tests

A lot of the detector tests needed to be reworked as we can longer leverage withArgs or callsArgAsync, so many of the mocking around the child process leverages callback handlers that are defined in the test to get a specific outcome from the yielding process.

We no longer stub utils.getOutput or helper methods and instead mock the libraries they are consuming, such as 'child_process' or 'win-version-info' to more accurately test our implementation.

This tests the same functionality, except maybe slightly deeper, but overall the tests are the same

Implementation

Only thing that has really changed with the implementation is to always prioritize 64-bit browser installs over 32-bit. Before, the priority was mixed and this makes the prioritization consistent

Steps to test

How has the user experience changed?

PR Tasks

• Have tests been added/updated?
• Has a PR for user-facing changes been opened in cypress-documentation? chore: update order of browser detection to always prefer 64-bit  cypress-documentation#6296
• Have API changes been updated in the type definitions?

Note

Migrates @packages/launcher tests from Mocha to Vitest, updates Windows browser detection to prefer 64‑bit installs, and adjusts CI/browser setup accordingly.

• Launcher:
  • Browser detection (Windows): Reorders search paths to prefer 64-bit installs; minor refactors (default fs import, direct getVersionString).
  • Tests: Replace Mocha/Chai/Sinon with Vitest; add Vitest snapshots/config; remove legacy Mocha files; update scripts/dependencies.
• Docs:
  • cli/CHANGELOG.md: Notes browser detection now prefers 64-bit installs.
  • guides/esm-migration.md: Marks packages/launcher as completed.
• CI:
  • Bumps CircleCI browser-tools orb and sets install_chrome replace_existing: true.
  • Updates expected Mocha result count (10 → 9).
