fix(wolf): stop Steam container before patching EA registry to survive wineserver flush

Browse Source 
wineserver holds the Wine registry in memory and flushes it back to
system.reg on shutdown, overwriting any edits made while the container
is running. _apply_ea_fix now stops the WolfSteam container first,
patches system.reg + appmanifest StateFlags on disk, then restarts Wolf
so the keys persist when wineserver next starts.

Also sets StateFlags to 6 (fully installed) so Steam skips the
install-script phase entirely and launches the game directly.
