Pierre Kisters 24d6504f30 Add steam-ui-patches (generic Steam UI runtime patches) and launcher-menu
steamFrame.uiPatches.patches registers JS patches that the
steam-ui-patches user service keeps injected into Steam's (or SteamVR's)
web UI over the local CEF DevTools ports and reverts when it stops.

steamFrame.launcherMenu uses it for the VR "+" menu: sort = true sorts
the programs by name; pinDesktop = "top" / "bottom" pins Desktop above or
below the scrolling list.

# The VR dashboard's "+" menu (non-Steam programs, #VRDashboard_LaunchNonSteamApp)
# lists programs in the order SteamClient.Apps.ScanForInstalledNonSteamApps()
# returns them: GLib hash-table order, effectively random, with "Desktop" (the
# nested Plasma session) somewhere in a scrolling list. Two runtime patches of
# Steam's UI (steam-ui-patches.nix, evaluated in SharedJSContext) fix that:
# - order/: wraps ScanForInstalledNonSteamApps to sort the list by name;
# - pinned-desktop/: hides Desktop in the scrolling list and pins a copy above
# or below it, with a separator; clicking the copy clicks the hidden
# original. The position is passed by calling the patch's function.
# Both are reverted when turned off (next switch).
# Depends on Steam UI internals; tested with Steam client 1790377368.
