GUI subsystem: -H=windowsgui + AttachConsole, MB_TOPMOST on test window
drover.exe is now a GUI subsystem binary:
  - Double-click no longer flashes a console window — a clean
    smoke-test message box opens immediately.
  - When run from cmd / PowerShell, AttachConsole reattaches stdout
    and stderr to the parent terminal so '--version', 'check', etc.
    still print as expected.
  - MB_TOPMOST flag added to MessageBox so the window can't be
    obscured by other windows on launch (this was the actual cause
    of "I clicked but nothing happened" reports).

Verified locally: built with GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 -H=windowsgui;
running drover-gui.exe --version prints to PowerShell, drover-gui.exe
gui shows the message box on top of the active window.

// showTestWindow displays a native Win32 MessageBox with build info.
// The intent is to give end-users a visual smoke-test on first run:
// double-click drover.exe (or run `drover gui`) and see that:
// 1. the binary actually launches on Windows,
// 2. the embedded version metadata is correct,
// 3. the process can talk to user32.dll (i.e. the runtime is healthy).
//
// This is *not* the production GUI — that comes later via Wails. Here we
// purposely use only stdlib + golang.org/x/sys/windows so this works
// before any Wails/CGO machinery is wired up.
