* gui-qt: don't crash on install file delete failures when you install a .zip, .vpk, .pkg, or firmware .pup and tick the matching "delete after install" option, vita3k tries to remove the installer file from disk. the archive and pkg dialogs use the throwing fs::remove overload, which raises a filesystem_error when the file is locked by another process. since the call runs inside a qt slot, the exception escapes into the qt event loop and the whole emulator goes down with it. the firmware dialog uses QFile::remove instead, which returns a bool that the code was ignoring, so a locked firmware file silently stuck around with no feedback to the user. leaving the installer open in something like 7-zip while installing is enough to trigger either case. this swaps fs::remove for the non-throwing error_code overload in the archive and pkg dialogs, and checks the bool from QFile::remove in the firmware dialog. anything that could not be removed gets shown in a warning so the user knows what stuck around, and the install itself still finishes normally. * gui-qt: route firmware drops through the install dialog dropping a .pup onto the main window used to run install_pup inline with a bare QProgressDialog and its own success/failure handling, bypassing FirmwareInstallDialog entirely. that path duplicated the progress UI and never offered the "delete firmware file after install?" option that the menu-triggered flow exposes. route the drop through FirmwareInstallDialog instead, matching the existing .pkg and .vpk drop routing right next to it. this adds a constructor that takes a pre-supplied firmware path so the dialog skips its file picker when invoked from a drop. dropped firmware installs now share the threaded progress UI, the warning when the file is locked, and the optional cleanup checkbox with the menu trigger.
