Steam Deck / SteamOS support!

SteamOS is configured to prevent the user from accessing /usr/local. "AM" normally uses that directory to install symlinks in $PATH and launchers for the application menu. To solve this issue we have set "AM" to run only in AppMan mode, so that it can install and manage apps locally, and rootless, when osing SteamOS on Steam Deck.

The INSTALL script has also been updated to support Steam Deck. The "am" link to /opt/am/APP-MANAGER will be placed in the user's HOME directory, in ~/.local/bin, so that it can be used in $PATH, from the command line, along with all other programs.
