A plugin that let's you use a fully universal steam Proton prefix

Hi there!
I've made another plugin which I'd like to submit :)

Currently on Linux, Steam's "Proton" creates a separate windows drive prefix for each game.
This plugin allows the user to define a single path which every game will then use as it's Proton Prefix.

It does the following:

1. Detect when a game is being launched
2. Find the game's compatdata folder location
3. If the folder exists with pre-existing files it:
   • Copies all content to your universal prefix (without overwriting existing files)
   • Removes the original compatdata folder
4. Creates a single symlink where the entire AppID's compatdata folder points directly to your universal prefix

v1.1.0 is an update to switch to LUA instead of Python, and to use millennium's in-steam configurator.

• do not patch SteamClient.Apps.RunGame, there is some other shit there you can use to see when a game is running (you can ignore that if you feel like not doing it)
• remove settings <style>, it's most likely broken now

really defensive code for some reason, but otherwise looks good

Thanks for the review, sorry for getting back so late.

I made some changes;
Replaced RunGame with RegisterForGameActionStart
Removed the <style> settings
And cleaned up some of the unrequired defensive code.

Let me know if anything else needs adjusting!

oh wait also remove unused dependencies, then it actually lgtm

[BlafKing]

Good catch! Removed any unused dependencies and checked with a local build 👍
