fix(host/windows): rebuild the output fresh on every WGC↔DDA source switch

Key insight (from the user): a fresh RECONNECT shows the secure desktop but the
live transition does not — so the difference is what a fresh session does that
the live switch skipped. A reconnect runs build() = REMOVE + fresh ADD of the
SudoVDA monitor + re-isolate + a fresh capturer; the live transition instead
reused the session-start output (created while on the NORMAL desktop), which goes
born-lost (ACCESS_LOST storm → black) on the secure desktop.

Fix: virtual_stream_relay now calls build() on EVERY source switch (both WGC→DDA
and DDA→WGC), then opens DDA on the new target for secure / uses the fresh helper
for normal. This makes each transition equivalent to the reconnect that works —
fixing both the WGC→DDA cutover (secure desktop now in the clean output state DDA
can duplicate) and the DDA→WGC cutover (a fresh helper's first frame is its
opening IDR, so await_idr clears immediately instead of waiting on a wedged
helper). Costs a ~1-2s rebuild per transition, acceptable for UAC/lock events.
