Pierre Kisters 7fe68e055c Dashboard patches: persist frame-controls placements and "Steam hidden" on disk
SteamOS's steamvr.service runs `rm -rf ~/.cache/SteamVR` on every SteamVR
start, which deletes vrwebhelper's browser profile and with it the
localStorage frame-controls kept its placements in, so they were lost on
every SteamVR restart and reboot.

steam-ui-patches: per-patch persistent state (`state = true`). The injector
keeps ~/.local/state/steam-frame-nix/ui-patches/<name>.json, seeds
window.__sfuiStore in a fresh page before the patch runs and writes the file
(atomically, on change, name-checked, max 64 KiB) when the page calls the
CDP binding __sfuiStoreSave.

frame-controls v5: placements saved there (v4 localStorage copy migrated
once, then removed). steam-close-button v8: "Steam hidden" saved there; a
restored hidden state hides Steam once if SteamVR already shows it when the
patch attaches (or first shows it before the patch sees Steam's frame).

README: "Changes outside Nix" lists the directory; install.sh uninstall
removes it.

# Shared helpers of the runtime Steam UI patches:
# - finders.js: signature-based lookup of webpack modules/exports and fibers;
# - signatures.json: per-patch signatures, also read by
# scripts/check-signatures.mjs (run it after a Steam update);
# - hooks.js: one shared wrapper per hooked method (e.g. SendMessage);
# - mkPatch: builds the expression the injector evaluates.
#
# Patch convention: a patch file is a function expression
# (find, sigs, opts, hooks) => <status string or Promise of one>
# (trailing parameters may be omitted), called as
# (<patch>)(<finders.js>, <signatures>, <opts>, <hooks.js>)
# with find = lib/finders.js, sigs = its module signatures, opts = the JSON
# options from its module, hooks = lib/hooks.js. The injector re-evaluates it
# on every new JS context and periodically, so it must be idempotent: keep
# state on a window.__sfui* global (or on the wrapped function), return
# "unchanged" when already applied (not logged) and tear down/re-apply when
# its VERSION or options differ. Bump VERSION whenever the patch code changes.
# A matching unpatch.js (plain expression) reverts it when the service stops.
# State that must outlive the page (SteamVR restarts, reboots) goes through
# window.__sfuiStore (patch registered with state = true; injector.mjs).
# Patches needing none of the arguments may be plain expressions without
# mkPatch (e.g. launcher-menu/order).
