Windows CI: ship single-file portable HashBags.exe via 7-Zip SFX

Replace the .zip artifact with a 7-Zip self-extracting .exe wrapper.
On launch, the wrapper extracts the Flutter Windows build tree to
%TEMP% and runs HashWallet.exe — user experience is one .exe to
download and double-click. Each launch re-extracts; subsequent launches
are slower than a real install but zero-touch portable is the user's
explicit preference over an installer.

SFX module probe handles 7-Zip naming variations (7zS.sfx / 7zSD.sfx /
7zSfx.sfx) so the step doesn't break across 7-Zip releases.

# ---- Build single-file portable HashBags.exe (7-Zip SFX) -------------
# Goal: ship one .exe that users can double-click. The Flutter Windows
# build produces a directory tree (~500 files: hash_wallet.exe +
# plugin DLLs + data/ + locales/), but we want a single binary.
# 7-Zip's installer-mode SFX module (7zS.sfx) bundles the archive
# into a wrapper .exe that on launch extracts to %TEMP% and runs
# the configured RunProgram. Each launch re-extracts; subsequent
# launches are slower than a real install but the trade-off for
# "zero-touch portable" is acceptable for now.
