docs: clarify that SWBF2 must be launched from Steam before using Kyber

Browse Source 
Kyber does not launch the game itself — Steam must start SWBF2 first
and let it reach the main menu. Added this to both the script output
and the README gaming section.

The script downloads the latest AppImage, installs a desktop entry, and
creates a `kyber` command in `~/.local/bin`.
**First run:**
**Every time you want to play:**
1. **Launch SWBF2 from Steam first** — let it fully load to the main menu
2. Launch Kyber (`kyber` or from the app menu)
3. In Kyber: join a server (HOME) or create one (HOST)
4. Kyber connects to the already-running game instance
Kyber does not launch the game itself — Steam must start it first.
**First run (one-time setup):**
1. Click **EA Account** → log in with your EA credentials in the browser
2. Click **Skip** on Nexus Mods (optional, only needed for mods)
3. Browse servers on **HOME** or create one under **HOST**
3. EA login is cached — you stay logged in across sessions
**Hosting a private server with bots:**
- HOST → pick maps/modes → set a **name** and **PASSWORD** → Start Server
- Share the name + password with friends; they search by name in HOME
- SWBF2 fills empty slots with AI automatically — no separate bot setting
- Share the server name + password with friends; they search by name in HOME
- SWBF2 fills empty slots with AI automatically — no separate bot setting needed
**Requirements:**
- SWBF2 (Steam AppID 1237950) installed with GE-Proton (recommended over
