ft-steam: open Steam's menu through Steam's own UI

steam/ft-steam menu opens the SteamVR dashboard on Steam's menu, or closes
the dashboard if it's up, without pointer mode: it asks Steam's UI over its
debugging port to show its dashboard overlay (ShowVROverlay, what Steam
calls itself) and focus the Steam frame's left menu (MenuStore.OpenMainMenu).
ft-steam check says whether those calls still exist, and update-check.py
runs it, since a Steam client update can rename them.

The CDP client moves from display-settings/steam_settings.py to
steam/steamui.py, so both use it.
