fix(wolf): keep wineserver alive during EA App install

Browse Source 
EAappInstaller.exe is a WiX/Burn bootstrapper that spawns the real
installer as a background Wine process and exits immediately. When the
foreground wine process exited, wineserver shut down and killed the
background installer before it could write any files.

Fix: launch a cmd.exe/timeout anchor before running the installer so
the shared wineserver stays up while background installer processes run.
Kill the anchor (wineserver -k) after EADesktop.exe is detected or the
15-minute timeout expires.
