v0.3.7: Mac: if "Update and restart now" fails with "the app did not quit, nothing was updated" (update_app_busy), download the dmg from the release page and drag S2Arm into Applications to replace it once, and 7 more fixes

Mac: if "Update and restart now" fails with "the app did not quit, nothing was updated" (update_app_busy), download the dmg from the release page and drag S2Arm into Applications to replace it once. Fixed Mac in-app updates getting stuck because the old version never quit (update_app_busy): the launcher now quits by itself after the update dialog closes; if the old version still does not quit, the updater ends it; and if it cannot wait for the exit, the downloaded update is kept so the button stays available without re-downloading. Fixed installs failing with "No profiles … were found" when using a free Apple ID (personal team) for the standalone app of the alternative export path: free accounts no longer request the "Extended Virtual Addressing" entitlement they can't use, and if a profile still can't be created, Xcode's first reason is shown directly. If the resource pack check reports "SHA does not match index" during install, retrying now recovers instead of failing every time. Installing no longer fails with "local task failed" when the save file list is missing a field. Game libraries on exFAT drives: "._" companion files next to device records no longer make library refresh fail. Fixed exports failing every time with "… is not in game.img's RomFS section or the overlay" after a previous export was cancelled, the launcher was closed or the process was interrupted while writing the game image: incomplete output is now cleaned up so the next export writes it completely. Fixed some games crashing at the name-entry step right after starting.
