fix(game): detect live Steam appid via /proc SteamAppId, not stale registry.vdf
Field test found Steam games were never detected on Linux. Root cause:
Steam rewrites ~/.steam/registry.vdf only on SHUTDOWN, so its RunningAppID
is stale (often absent) while a game is actually running — polling it can
never see the live game.

Fix: on Linux, read the live appid from the running game's environment
(SteamAppId in /proc/<pid>/environ, the var Steam exports to every game
process — the same signal MangoHud uses; readable for our own processes).
registry.vdf stays as a best-effort fallback. Windows still reads the real
registry's RunningAppID, which IS updated live there. Other Unix keeps the
registry.vdf fallback.

Pure parse_steam_app_id_from_environ() is unit-tested (nonzero filter,
absent, substring-not-fooled, garbage). Also fixes a latent bug in the
first draft where a single non-UTF8 SteamAppId value would abort the whole
scan via ? instead of skipping.

396 lib tests, clippy --all-targets clean.
