fix(setup): default browser/TTS picker to free local backend, not paid Nous (#37800)

Browse Source 
The Browser Automation and Text-to-Speech provider pickers listed the paid
"Nous Subscription" gateway row first, so on a fresh install the menu cursor
defaulted to index 0 (Nous). Pressing Enter selected it and ran the inline
Nous Portal device-code login — walking users into a paid offering they
never chose.

Reorder both provider lists so the free, no-key local backend is index 0
(Local Browser / Microsoft Edge TTS). Users who already configured Nous are
unaffected: _detect_active_provider_index still resolves their active row
first, so the cursor lands on Nous (now index 1) for them.

Reported by Javier via Kujila.
