Remove umu-run, keep game as child process for Steam tracking

- Remove umu-run entirely (crashed due to pressure-vessel/FUSE
  incompatibility) — use raw `proton run` instead
- Replace startDetached() with QProcess::start() so the game stays in
  Fluorine's process tree. This lets Steam track the game lifetime and
  makes the "close game" button work when Fluorine is added as a
  non-Steam game.
- Add writeIniValueDirect/readIniValueDirect for safe Bethesda INI
  handling without QSettings corruption
- Fix prefix_setup.rs to skip umu-run bootstrapping
- Clean up settings UI, build scripts, and docs for umu-run removal
