Game menu: Update with a newer version… for Linux apps and PC VR games (#161 )

Follow-up to "Update with a newer APK…": Linux apps take their new AppImage/archive or folder (a file or a folder picker, like the app was added), PC VR games their new game folder. pipeline.replace_linux_app / replace_rift_game re-run the add path (add_linux_app(replace=) / add_rift_game(replace=)): the entry keeps its package (so the Steam shortcut), name, artwork, tags, switches and the user's recipe; a folder keeps the program chosen before if it's still there, else FramePort picks again (and asks, for ambiguous PC VR games). A name that looks like another app's is allowed with a heads-up. The entry gets a new source_id, recorded in the deployment's recipe at install (no agent change): components.source_replaced shows the Frame copy (and a PC install, pc_outdated) as outdated until then. Such an install also re-sends same-size files changed after the last install (installer.changed_since), since uploads otherwise skip files the Frame has with the same size. The old PC VR folder is left out of later scans (replaced_dirs). CLI: frameport new-version <game> <path> (APKs too). Docs: INSTALL.md.
