The412Banner 773f4a6e6d Deck mode: the four helpers the client really calls, at the path it calls them ...

On device the client's console log showed the calls: /usr/bin/steamos-polkit-helpers/steamos-update,
steamos-select-branch, jupiter-biosupdate and jupiter-dock-updater - the polkit-helpers path, not
/usr/bin. The missing steamos-update there was the 'Update Error' dialog. Stubs at both paths now.

Also seen on device: -steamdeck alone opts the install into the steamdeck_stable branch too, so the
branch guard is what keeps a session from reinstalling; and on the publicbeta channel Deck mode
reports installed version 0 at every start and reinstalls the same client (rc=42, the launch URL
lost with it), while on steamdeck_publicbeta the second launch comes up with no restart at all.
