Diego Rodrigues de Sa e Souza 4e57c1dc9a fix(electron): derive macOS Helper name from execPath to remove 2nd Dock icon (#7941) (#8002) ...

resolveNodeExecutable() built the macOS Helper path from app.getName() (package.json
name = "omniroute-desktop"), but electron-builder names the Helper.app bundles from
build.productName ("OmniRoute"). The two diverged, so the probe never matched a real
Helper and fell through to process.execPath — spawning the main Electron binary via
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE, which macOS renders as a second, inert Dock icon.

Extracted the resolution into electron/lib/resolveNodeHelper.js (pure, unit-testable),
deriving the Helper name from path.basename(process.execPath) so it always tracks the
productName-generated bundle. Registered the new module in electron build.files.

Reported by Carlos Espinoza (Carloss616) with runtime instrumentation of a packaged
.app pinpointing the exact field divergence.
