Keep fallback expansion active during recording.

When hudOverlayRecordingActive is true, setHudOverlayFallbackExpanded() resets hudOverlayFallbackExpanded to false and returns. This call therefore cannot expand the Linux fallback when a menu becomes interactive. The HUD remains compact unless the webcam-preview condition expands it.

Store interaction expansion separately, or allow this interaction-driven expansion during recording. Add a regression test for an interactive menu while recording without a webcam preview.

In `@electron/windows.ts` at line 320, Update the interaction-driven expansion
around setHudOverlayFallbackExpanded so it can expand the Linux fallback while
hudOverlayRecordingActive is true, without breaking recording behavior. Keep
webcam-preview expansion unchanged, and add a regression test covering an
interactive menu during recording with no webcam preview.
