fix: Steam Deck/Ubuntu crash - use system libzstd.so

The bundled libzstd.so is incompatible with glibc 2.41's stricter heap
validation, causing "free(): invalid pointer" crashes.

Solution: Automatically replace bundled libzstd.so with system version
on Linux. The launcher detects and symlinks to /usr/lib/libzstd.so.1.

- Auto-detect system libzstd at common paths (Arch, Debian, Fedora)
- Backup bundled version as libzstd.so.bundled
- Create symlink to system version
- Add HYTALE_NO_LIBZSTD_FIX=1 to disable if needed
