Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fix(queries): match Dia/Arc chrome forks and surface
 empty Browser view

Chromium forks run the chrome extension, so web events land in the
chrome bucket while aw-watcher-window reports app names like "Dia".
Nothing in the chrome patterns matched, so filter_period_intersect
returned empty and Top Domains/URLs/Titles silently showed "No data".

Add Dia/Arc process-name alternatives to the chrome regex, the Dia
macOS bundle id to the exact list, and an info hint when a browser
bucket exists but the window intersection is empty.

Fixes ActivityWatch/aw-webui#927.

Subject: [PATCH 5/6] fix(i18n): add Swedish browserAllowlistMiss string

Master gained sv.ts via #947 after this PR opened. Keep the empty-state
key in every locale so Swedish does not silently fall back to English.

Subject: [PATCH 6/6] fix(queries): union only chrome+Arc duplicate streams

union_no_overlap across every browser bucket dropped legitimate
concurrent activity from later streams (Chrome+Firefox, etc.).
Keep concat for distinct browsers; union only the chrome/Arc pair
that can actually duplicate the same events.
