Restart Ghost Steam Implementation for Stability#15
Conversation
- Task 1: Add `find_wine_binary` to dynamically locate the wine executable in various Proton versions. - Task 2: Implement `install_ghost_steam_in_prefix` for a clean install into Proton prefixes using raw wine and removing stubs. - Task 3: Update `spawn_game_process` to trigger Ghost Steam install before launch and force real Steam binaries via WINEDLLOVERRIDES. - Add `steam_setup_path` configuration and UI field.

- Revert to using the Proton script (`proton run`) for installation to ensure TLS/SSL network libraries are available. - Implement "Brain Surgery" environment variables: set `WINEDLLOVERRIDES` and unset Proton's internal Steam hooks. - Use the correct `pfx` subdirectory for the Wine prefix. - Add sanitization to remove existing Proton stubs before install. - Optimize by skipping installation if `steam.exe` already exists. - Force use of real Steam files during game runtime via `WINEDLLOVERRIDES`.

- Implement `get_installed_steam_path` in `src/launch.rs` to scan for `steam.exe` in multiple common paths with fuzzy case matching. - Update `install_ghost_steam_in_prefix` to return the discovered path and log directory contents on failure. - Update `spawn_game_process` in `src/steam_client.rs` to use the found filename for `WINEDLLOVERRIDES`, handling case-sensitivity quirks.

This change implements a more stable approach to "Ghost Steam" by installing the official Windows Steam Client into game Proton prefixes using raw Wine, bypassing Proton's built-in Steam stubs. It also ensures games are launched using these real binaries by setting appropriate DLL overrides.
