The412Banner c9fb19b0cd Restart the client once for a title mapped while it runs ...

The client reads config.vdf once, as it starts. A title installed during a
session got its per-app ARM64 Proton entry from the compat beat, but the
running client kept its own pick: native for a Linux build, which then sat
on "Downloading content (0%)" waiting for Steam Linux Runtime 2.0 and FEX
it can never run here (Left 4 Dead 2), or proton-stable for a Windows one.

The beat now runs the compat pass with --live, which notes titles it maps
while the client runs. Once each has finished installing and no game is
running, the session restarts the client through the existing restart-once
marker. Once per title and three times per session at most. The mapping is
re-applied before the client starts again, since it writes config.vdf back
from memory as it exits.
