Adds a section to Modding that gives more info about Linux compat and how to make tools work thru Wine.

  • Add basic info
  • Add hammer/hlmv article
  • Table with basic compatibility information
  • Properly link to mentioned tools (specifically wine website)
  • (Maybe) add info about installing wine? - Probably not, plenty of tutorials already, and its already pretty simple

Still a WIP

Added section and overview page

-winecompat is only a thing in Hammer.

In Hammer, the only thing -winecompat does is enable the Qt file dialog instead of the native wine file browser. Other wine-specific fixups are applied automatically when the symbol wine_get_version is found in ntdll

I would just add a note to Hammer saying -winecompat enables the Qt file dialog instead of the native wine dialog or something

You should also add an entry to that table for the engine tools (particle editor, material editor, etc.), since those are natively supported.
