wolf: add ge-proton + fix-ea-game manage commands for EA titles
Add two manage.sh commands that bake in the workarounds needed to run EA Steam titles (e.g. Star Wars Battlefront II 2017) under Proton in a container: - ge-proton: downloads the latest GE-Proton into Steam's compatibilitytools.d (the path Steam actually scans) and chowns it to uid 1000 so the in-container user can launch it. GE-Proton carries the EA App installer fixes stock Proton/Experimental lack. - fix-ea-game [appid]: pre-satisfies the EA App install-script markers in the game's Proton prefix (InstallSuccessful + Valve EADesktopSetup has-run key) so Steam stops looping on 'running install script (EA app)'. Opt-in per AppID, defaults to SWBF2 1237950, no-ops if the prefix doesn't exist, idempotent, and keeps the prefix owned by uid 1000 so Wine accepts it. Also document the EA-game flow in the post-install summary. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01D8ckUJQtj1pH8jtAddBDZs
