wolf: auto-download shaders/overlays/cheats/database/autoconfig alongside cores
Extends `./manage.sh cores all` (and install_wolf()'s own cores prompt,
which calls it) to also pull the rest of what RetroArch's own Online
Updater offers — Slang shaders, overlays/bezels, cheat files, the RDB
game database, and controller autoconfig profiles — directly from the
same libretro buildbot the cores themselves come from
(buildbot.libretro.com/assets/frontend/). Confirmed live against the
real directory listing and each zip's actual internal structure (flat,
no wrapping folder) before writing the extraction paths, rather than
guessing: ~290 MB total, landing in retroarch/{shaders,overlays,cheats,
database,autoconfig}/ using RetroArch's own default paths for the three
config keys (cheat_database_path, content_database_path,
joypad_autoconfig_dir) this install leaves unset.
Thumbnails are deliberately excluded — they're hosted separately, are
per-system, and can run into many GB, so blindly grabbing "all systems"
would be a bad default; documented as a manual per-system pull via
RetroArch's own Thumbnails Updater instead.
Idempotent like the existing cores loop: skips a pack whose destination
directory already has content, unless `force` is passed.
