Followup to #316661

Bump only npm target to 42.3.0 that contains electron/electron@0e1fe29

The current preinstall header patching doesn't work for root node_modules due to order of lifecycle script invocation.

Pull request overview

Follow-up to the Electron 42 update (PR #316661). Instead of preinstall-time patching of the cppgc/heap.h header (which didn't run early enough for root node_modules), this PR bumps the Electron headers npm target to 42.3.0, which already contains the MSVC-compatible upstream fix, and removes the custom header patching machinery.

Changes:

• Bump .npmrc headers target from 42.2.0 to 42.3.0 and hardcode the Electron runtime version in build/lib/electron.ts to 42.2.0.
• Remove the local cppgc/heap.h custom header and the related explanatory comment in build/npm/preinstall.ts.
• Drop the now-unnecessary explicit node build/npm/preinstall.ts invocation from all Windows CI pipelines and the PR workflow; bump build/.cachesalt.
