Alexa bc8bcd99d0 patcher: bundle Goldberg steam_api64.dll stub + steam_appid
Stripping SteamStub DRM with Steamless is necessary but not
sufficient — Rec Room's Plugins/steam_api64.dll still tries to
talk to Steam at runtime and bails when Steam isn't loaded. The
working test installs swap in Goldberg Steam Emulator (~11 MB),
which fakes a logged-in user without needing Steam running.

- DorkNet.ClientMod/steam-stub/ holds the stub DLL + a 7-byte
  steam_appid.txt (Rec Room is Steam app 471710)
- build-patcher-zip.ps1 copies both into the zip and writes a new
  steam_stub block in manifest.json so the launcher knows where to
  install them
- Manifest schema is back-compat: launchers that don't know the
  steam_stub block just ignore it

Without this, the launcher's Steamless step produced a runnable
exe that exited within a second of launch because of the Steam
API failure. With it, the unwrapped exe starts up cleanly.

.SYNOPSIS
Builds the per-version dorknet-clientpatch-{VersionKey}.zip the
DorkNet launcher expects to find as a GitHub Release asset.
.DESCRIPTION
Output zip layout (see launcher/RELEASES.md on the public main
branch for the full contract):
manifest.json (schema v1, describes the install)
MelonLoader.zip (downloaded from melonloader github)
DorkNet.ClientMod.dll (built from this repo)
dorknet-clientmod.json.template (copied from DorkNet.ClientMod/)
The launcher reads manifest.json, unzips MelonLoader on top of the
user's Rec Room install root, copies the DLL into Mods/, then
renders the config template into UserData/.
Self-contained: downloads MelonLoader before the dotnet build and
feeds its DLLs into the build as references, so no local Rec Room
install is required to compile DorkNet.ClientMod. (The mod resolves
every game-side type at runtime via AccessTools.TypeByName.)
.PARAMETER VersionKey
The version key matching versions.json on the public main branch
(e.g. december_2020_12_18 or march_2020_03_10).
.PARAMETER MelonLoaderVersion
MelonLoader release tag to bundle. Defaults to the 0.6.x stable
target — that's the loader DorkNet.ClientMod compiled against.
.PARAMETER OutputDir
Where the final zip lands. Defaults to repo-root/dist.
.EXAMPLE
.\tools\build-patcher-zip.ps1 -VersionKey march_2020_03_10
