Fix ai_tools apps collector matching AI apps by raw substring

[juan-fdz-hawa]

Resolves #51093

Route matchKnown() through the existing containsWordBoundary() helper so short tokens like "dia" and "lms" no longer match mid-word inside unrelated software (NVIDIA Control Panel, VLC media player, Plex Media Server, vs_minshellmsi), and so an impostor match can no longer mask a genuine install of the same known app via first-match-wins dedup.

Report the installed program's real display name in the name column and the known-app key in identifier, so any future mismatch is visible from the table row itself.

Walkthrough

The apps collector now stores display names from Darwin bundles, Linux desktop files, Windows registry entries, and AppX manifests. It falls back to package or detected names when needed. Known-app matching uses word boundaries across application names and identifiers. Tests cover false-positive rejection, genuine-installation preservation, display-name extraction, and app-row mapping. App table rows report display names as name and known-app keys as identifier.

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to 13cb7

The change tightens AI-app matching and makes the installed display name and known-app identifier explicit; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.
