Seeding libraryfolders.vdf never stuck: Steam rewrites that file on every
launch and forces its primary library back to its own install dir
(/home/retro/.local/share/Steam), which is the Wolf session home on the OS
drive. That's why Steam Storage kept showing /home/retro with the OS drive's
size no matter how many times we seeded the vdf.
New approach: relocate_steam_home symlinks each Wolf Steam session home
(/etc/wolf/<id>/Steam, bind-mounted to /home/retro) at
$GAME_STORAGE_DIR/steam-home. Steam's one and only library is then the game
drive, so installs, game files, and Proton prefixes all land there and the
Storage screen reports the game drive's free space. An existing Steam install
is moved over once (no re-download) before the symlink is created.
Wired into first install, manage.sh start (self-heals on reboot), and
manage.sh fix-perms. Dropped the redundant /mnt/games/steam mount and the
vdf seeding everywhere; updated the README heredoc with the one-time
connect / fix-perms / reconnect sequence.
