test(ripgrep diagnostic): add Windows-path coverage + appRoot validation

Two polish items from review:

- getRipgrepDiagnostic now early-returns an explanatory message
  when vscode.env.appRoot is empty, instead of silently producing
  a report with a meaningless path probe. Closes the input-
  validation gap surfaced in re-reading the diagnostic.
- New test exercises the .asar->.asar.unpacked substitution on
  Windows-style backslash paths. The regex already handles both
  separators via [\\/], this just pins it.
