Game menu: Update with a newer version… for Linux apps and PC VR games (#161 )

Follow-up to "Update with a newer APK…": Linux apps take their new AppImage/archive or folder (a file or a folder picker, like the app was added), PC VR games their new game folder. pipeline.replace_linux_app / replace_rift_game re-run the add path (add_linux_app(replace=) / add_rift_game(replace=)): the entry keeps its package (so the Steam shortcut), name, artwork, tags, switches and the user's recipe; a folder keeps the program chosen before if it's still there, else FramePort picks again (and asks, for ambiguous PC VR games). A name that looks like another app's is allowed with a heads-up. The entry gets a new source_id, recorded in the deployment's recipe at install (no agent change): components.source_replaced shows the Frame copy (and a PC install, pc_outdated) as outdated until then. Such an install also re-sends same-size files changed after the last install (installer.changed_since), since uploads otherwise skip files the Frame has with the same size. The old PC VR folder is left out of later scans (replaced_dirs). CLI: frameport new-version <game> <path> (APKs too). Docs: INSTALL.md.

-# Announcements
-
-`current.md` is the one announcement FramePort shows as a pop-up in the app. Edit it on `main`: the app reads it
-from GitHub `main` (raw.githubusercontent.com) at most every 6 hours, so a push reaches everyone without a release.
-
-## Who sees it
-
- **Only people who already used FramePort before the announcement's `date`.** A new install never shows one, and
-  nor does an announcement published before FramePort was installed.
- **Once.** Closing it in any way (the X, a click outside it, Escape, or its button) dismisses it for good. The app
-  remembers dismissals in its settings (`announce.dismissed`).
- **A new announcement = a new `id`.** Fixing a typo with the same `id` doesn't show it again to anyone who closed it.
-  A new `id` shows to everyone who used FramePort before its `date`, whether they closed the earlier one or not.

+Every patch and game setting FramePort knows: 169 entries in 5 groups. A game's recipe is its chosen patches and settings; tested games get theirs from the catalog ([GAMES.md](GAMES.md)), and other games get the patches FramePort suggests from its analysis. You change them on the game page under Customize.

 Each entry says what the patch does, whether it changes the APK or only the install, when FramePort suggests it, its options, the catalog games whose recipe names it and the launch-test signatures that suggest it. Patches that are on by default are on for every game, so the catalog rarely names them.
