Previous version only patched an already-populated es_settings.xml,
requiring a manual "connect via Moonlight once" step before the fix
could apply — the user correctly pointed out the script can't know
whether that step has been done, so a manual dependency isn't a real
fix. This embeds GOW's own real es_settings.xml template (fetched from
games-on-whales/gow, RunInBackground pre-flipped false) and writes it
directly whenever the on-disk file is missing or is the old broken
stub (detected by the absence of ROMDirectory, which only a real
GOW/ES-DE-written file has). An already-populated file still only gets
the one RunInBackground line patched, leaving everything else alone.
Verified against all 4 scenarios in isolated /tmp harnesses before
touching the file: missing file, the exact broken stub from the user's
regression, GOW's real full template, and idempotent re-runs.
