SirHumza ba4e28c98a fix(installer): revert packaging to hardware-verified values, add pre-main boot marker ...

param.sfo ATTRIBUTE 32->0 and CATEGORY gde->gd, and drop --authinfo.
These are the only values verified to launch on real hardware. The
gde/32 + authinfo combo was theory borrowed from Apollo; every build
carrying it died silently pre-logging on a real console (4/4) while
0/gd launched fine. Isolation ruled out authinfo (2 builds), the SDL
UI, and the native UI; LIBS, the object set, and all installer.c
deltas are identical or provably safe before the first log call.
param.sfo was the last variable present in 4/4 crashes and absent
from the single success.

installer.c also gains a pre-main constructor that writes a BOOT line
via raw open/write. Four builds died with install.log completely
untouched and the in-main crash handler never armed, so loader-side
death and main-side death were indistinguishable. Now: no BOOT means
the SELF never got control; BOOT without a stage means main died
before the first log.
