MaxsTechReview 9b5df0d224 perf: tile rendering for games, faster session start (#1188) ...

Games launched from Steam get Turnip's own per-render-pass choice between
tile memory and system memory again; TU_DEBUG=sysmem now stays with the
Steam client, whose interface it was set for. A per-game TU_DEBUG, the
debug override file and the Adreno 710/720 driver still win. On the
REDMAGIC tablet (Adreno 840) PEAK runs 46.8 -> 52.3 fps over 7 alternating
pairs and Valheim's 3D menu needs 12.6 % less GPU time per frame; light
games are unchanged.

droiddeck-seed-redists remembers the identity (inode, size, mtime) of each
prefix registry it has verified and skips re-reading it while it is
unchanged. Steam started after it on every session, ~1.8 s later.

SessionFiles keeps a ledger of the files it staged for the installed APK
and copies only the ones that changed, ~180 ms less per session start.

Session start to Steam ready: 5.57 -> 3.57 s.
