Henrik RydgårdandClaude Opus 5.5 1b60f76e58 Translate error messages once, from keys the source names
GameManager translated install errors when storing them, and the install
screens then looked the translated text up again as a key. It now stores the
category and key, and translates when asked. The raw ISO install error gets
the existing "Installation failed" string.

Some other errors went around as strings that were then used as keys:
- A missing savestate file now has its own error code, ERROR_FILE_MISSING,
  instead of a key in the failure reason.
- The PKG reader's reasons are technical English, so they're now shown
  untranslated under the translated "This PKG file isn't a PSP game update".
- The netconf dialog looked up the channel number. Only "Auto" is translated
  now, using the WLAN Channel setting's string.
- Adds the missing "Failed to read old directory" for memstick moves.

Henrik RydgårdandClaude Opus 5 3a70c6b149 Install PKG game updates, and boot them
Opening a .pkg now offers to install it, the way a .zip does - see the new
InstallPkgScreen, which shows what the update patches, what it'll take up
on disk (exact, since package contents aren't compressed) and where it's
going. The package's PS3-style USRDIR/CONTENT wrapping is stripped so the
files land where the PSP expects them, in PSP/GAME/<DISC_ID>.

Booting a disc then looks for PSP/GAME/<DISC_ID>/PBOOT.PBP and boots that
instead of the disc's own EBOOT, leaving the disc mounted - so the update
overrides the files it ships and the disc supplies the rest. The update's
DISC_ID has to match; a DISC_VERSION mismatch only warns, since updates do
get used with slightly different dumps in practice.

Verified against the whole corpus: every one installs, and the
digital NP* update/base-image pairs that could be assembled all boot the
patch rather than the disc's executable. That includes Super Robot Taisen
Operation Extend from a real NPUMDIMG EBOOT.PBP, which settles that
ISO.BIN.EDAT does not re-key the PBOOT - a digital title's patched EBOOT is
encrypted exactly like a UMD one. On the UMD side, the patched
LittleBigPlanet reads PATCH.ARC out of the install alongside the disc's own
archive.

The DISC_VERSION warning turns out to be load-bearing: many of the pairs
mismatch, because the dumps in circulation are later disc revisions than the
updates were built against. docs/pkg_notes.md has the numbers, and the one
thing that doesn't work - PGD-wrapped .sprx modules, which
sceKernelLoadModuleNpDrm can't load.
