fix(pglite): platform-gate the init-failure banner — stop blaming the macOS 26.3 bug on every platform (#2674) (#2891)

classifyPgliteInitError() routes bare Emscripten aborts to the 'unknown'
verdict, whose hint unconditionally printed "Most common cause: the macOS
26.3 WASM bug (#223)" — even on Windows and Linux (#2195, #1870).

- buildPgliteInitErrorMessage now takes a platform param (default
  process.platform): darwin keeps the #223 link as a *possible* cause;
  other platforms get the plausible off-macOS causes (lock contention,
  damaged data dir) plus `gbrain doctor` / `gbrain reinit-pglite`.
- New stringifyPgliteInitError(): non-Error rejections (Emscripten
  aborts can throw plain objects) no longer print "[object Object]".
- Regression tests for both branches + the stringifier in
  test/pglite-init-classifier.test.ts.

Canonical for a 7-report class: #2674, #1870, #1195, #1502, #2195,
#939, #391.
