Patches and cheats

Patches and cheats now work on the full 01.02 update (eboot.bin sha256 6e72330e…) and on the European title (CUSA01715) (#6, #9, #12, #13, #17, #25, #26, #29, #30, #40, #42, #48, #67). Before, everything was off on those builds: no 120/240 FPS, no resolution patches, no skips, no cheats.
Each patch site and each cheat hook is found by its original code (a signature) instead of a fixed address, so it applies wherever a release placed that code. Relative lea, call, jmp and mov inside the patches are recomputed for the build that was found (tools/make_signatures.py).
A site that is not found leaves only that patch or cheat off. The log and the launcher's patch list say which, and the game still starts.
The engine frame rate, direct memory and VBlank rate follow the patches that were actually applied, so the game no longer speeds up when the frame rate patch is missing (#42).
Tested: CUSA01623 and CUSA01715, versions 01.00 and 01.02. Other regions and versions may work but are untested: open an issue with your user/last_run.log if you try one.

Add to Steam: a non-Steam shortcut with the game's icon, grid covers, hero and logo (#73).
Update folder (optional, Game page): lays an update dumped apart over the game folder without changing either (#73).
God of War font in the titles, sidebar and Play button; optional (#14).
Touchpad: Back/View/Share opens the pause menu and L1 + Back opens photo mode; Tab and Backspace on the keyboard (#60).
Graphics (experimental) page: the temporal upscalers stay off by default; a switch turns them on for testing.
More launcher texts in Portuguese (#73).

Update folder on Windows without Developer Mode: the temporary view is not removed cleanly when the game exits, and out\game-update-* folders pile up. Leave Update folder empty and merge the update into the game folder if that happens.
Turning the experimental upscaler on and off again leaves Screen sharpening (RCAS) off in gow3.ini. Turn it back on in Display.
The two renamed sharpening labels appear in English in languages other than Portuguese and Russian.

Reference build (d85c8135…): the signatures write exactly the same bytes as the fixed addresses did, checked in game.
Full 01.02 update (6e72330e…): confirmed by players on test build 1 (#6, #67): cheats, 120/240 FPS and the game speed.
Unit tests for the signature search on the reference build, on a simulated moved build and against the original bytes published for 6e72330e… (signatures-test, cheat-hooks-test, actor-hook-test, tests/test_patches.py).
Windows build from main with MSYS2 CLANG64 (clang 23), 159 Python tests, and the C/C++ test programs (pad-map, audio-downmix, mp3, videodec, services, perf-overlay, graphics-settings, warmup-inbox, png-decode, readback-queue) passed.

Thanks to @LuizDev1 (#34) and @mateussmeneses (#47) for the measurements of the full 01.02 update, @weversonl (#73), @biologyscience (#14) and everyone who tested the test build.
