installDefaultWallpapers runs on every launch and always writes to platform.WallpaperDir(), i.e. ~/Wallpapers/Aether. It ignores the wallpaperFolder setting that ChooseWallpaperFolder saves and ScanLocalWallpapers reads. A user who keeps their wallpapers elsewhere (for example ~/Pictures/Wallpapers) and deletes ~/Wallpapers gets it recreated on the next launch, and the bundled Aether wallpapers never show up in the folder they actually browse.

Change

• installDefaultWallpapers resolves the folder with wallpaperFolderFromConfig(readConfigJSON("settings.json")), the same lookup ScanLocalWallpapers uses, and installs into <folder>/Aether.
• With no folder configured, behaviour is unchanged: ~/Wallpapers/Aether is created as before.
• A configured folder that doesn't exist is not created: the function returns an error, which startup already logs. This matches ScanLocalWallpapers, which reports a missing configured folder instead of creating it, and avoids leaving a stub directory where an unmounted drive belongs.

Tests

• TestInstallDefaultWallpapersUsesConfiguredFolder: wallpapers land in the configured folder and ~/Wallpapers is not created.
• TestInstallDefaultWallpapersSkipsMissingConfiguredFolder: a missing configured folder is neither created nor replaced by ~/Wallpapers.
• The existing TestInstallDefaultWallpapers now sets XDG_CONFIG_HOME to a temp dir, so it can't pick up a real settings.json.

go test -race -tags webkit2_41 . passes, and both new tests fail without the change.
