Subject: [PATCH] launcher: pass PhotonCloudRegion to patcher template

DorkNet.ClientMod's config reads PhotonCloudRegion alongside the
AppIds, and the joining client needs the host's region to connect
to the right Photon cloud. Adds {PHOTON_REGION} to the substitution
map and threads region through ClientPatcher.ApplyAsync from both
host (AppState.PhotonRegion) and join (JoinPayload.PhotonRegion)
flows.
