Jiří Polášek 0de60445ea CmdPal: Use Shell API to determine the default browser in WebSearch (#43339)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a new method for determining the default browser
using the Windows Shell API. The new provider selects the browser
associated with the HTTPS protocol (falling back to HTTP if necessary).
The original implementation is retained as a fallback for now, and the
codebase is prepared for future extensions (e.g., manual default-browser
selection).

As a flyby, it also fixes an issue where commands continued showing the
previous browser name if the user changed their default browser while
the Command Palette was running.

## One-liner for change log

Fixed default browser selection in the Web Search built-in extension.
