fix(startup): let startup_query name a built-in filter, and run it
Two defects, both reachable only after item 93. startupSavedQuery() searched the saved queries alone, so a startup_query of "Inbox" matched nothing once Inbox shipped as a built-in filter and the duplicated entry was removed from queries.json. It then fell back to m_savedQueries.first(), which is an arbitrary choice that used to look reasonable while every install carried an Inbox entry: with the duplicates gone it opened on a leftover search for one sender, and an empty queries.json opened on nothing at all. The search now covers the saved queries first, so the user's own entry wins a name collision, then the built-in filters; the fallback is the Unread filter, which is always present. The default startup name has always been "Unread" and now resolves for the first time: before this it named nothing unless the user happened to have such an entry. The constructor also read startup.query directly, and a generated entry stores no query at all, so even a matching filter opened an empty bar. It resolves through Config::resolvedQuery() now, unscoped, since the account dropdown starts on "All accounts". Icons per the user's choices: a star for Important rather than the flag action's own icon, since on the query row an icon reads as a category rather than as an instruction, and mail-folder-sent rather than mail-sent. Three tests changed rather than adapted, because their premises were the defect. Two asserted the first-saved-query fallback. aCronSyncDoesNotRefreshBeforeAnyQueryHasRun assumed a fresh window had run no query, which is no longer true; it is now aCronSyncRefreshesTheLastRunQueryNotTheQueryBar and asserts the property that actually matters on a cron timer, through a new lastRunQueryForTesting() seam, since a legitimate refresh bumps the generation and the counter cannot tell the two apart.
