fix(desktop): skip native rebuild in electron-builder to unblock Windows release

electron-builder's default @electron/rebuild step walked the desktop app's
whole dependency tree and tried to source-build @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch
(Node-ABI prebuilds only, none for Electron) via node-gyp, which fails on the
Windows runner with "Could not find any Visual Studio installation". The app
bundles no native addon needing an Electron-ABI rebuild (it uses node:sqlite;
keytar/node-pty aren't in the files list and are loaded optionally), so the
rebuild was pointless. Set npmRebuild: false to skip it on all platforms.
