Follow-up to #270. That PR's Windows-driver theory for issue #253 was tested on the actual reporter's hardware and ruled out; an A/B test (portable Chromium 152.0.7977.83 vs. the same machine's Chrome 153) isolated the cause to the browser build itself.

This replaces the driver-specific hint with a Chrome-version check: when the Razer probe finds nothing on Chrome/Chromium 153+, the error now names the actual confirmed cause and the pre-153 Chromium workaround instead of sending users to check Device Manager for a problem that isn't there.

…ome 153 cause

Issue #253's actual cause turned out to be Chrome 153 itself: an A/B test
(portable Chromium 152.0.7977.83 vs the same machine's Chrome 153) isolated
the regression to the browser build alone -- same Windows install, same
drivers, same mouse. The Windows-Update-reinstalled-legacy-driver theory
from the earlier PR was tested and ruled out on that same hardware.

requestSupportedClient() now checks the Chrome/Chromium major version from
the UA string and, when the Razer probe comes back empty on 153+, names the
actual cause and workaround (a pre-153 Chromium build) instead of pointing at
a driver problem that isn't there.
