Speed up the theme switch's browser refresh (#13038)

* Speed up theme switch by backgrounding preload and parallelizing browser refresh

`omarchy theme set` was blocking on `omarchy-theme-switcher --preload` (~1.1s)
and serially refreshing every Chromium-family browser (~1.0-1.5s), making a
picked theme feel slow even though the shell recolored instantly.

- Background `omarchy-theme-switcher --preload` like the background cache
- In `omarchy-theme-set-browser`, skip the privileged policy write and browser
  refreshes when every existing `color.json` already has the requested color
- Refresh only running browsers, and run those refreshes in parallel

Fixes #12627.

* Harden the unchanged-color shortcut in omarchy-theme-set-browser

Review feedback identified that the original shortcut could vacuously skip
when no managed policy directories existed, and that it accepted a color.json
whose ownership or contents the privileged writer would have rewritten.

- Only skip when at least one managed directory exists and every existing
  color.json is a regular, root-owned 0644 file containing the canonical JSON
- Add OMARCHY_BROWSER_POLICY_DIRS as a test-only override so the setter's
  unchanged-color check does not depend on the host's real /etc policy files
- Update browser-policy-sudoers-test.sh to use that override, and make
  theme-set-browser-test.sh behavioral rather than grep-only

* Find running browsers with one process scan during the policy write

Each browser check ran its own pgrep, and every pgrep rescans /proc,
~40ms apiece. Read the process table once with ps while the policy
writer runs, keeping its stdin so a terminal sudo prompt stays in the
terminal, then refresh the running browsers in parallel.

Chrome's fallback to plain google-chrome never ran: the refresh helper
returned success for a missing browser, so the || branch was dead. Pick
whichever Chrome binary exists up front instead.

The unchanged-color shortcut keeps its root:root 0644 check without the
fallback for hosts lacking stat -c, which Omarchy never runs on. Its
tests stub stat, ps and command discovery, so they neither depend on
nor touch the host's browsers.
