Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki eb1472a433 feat(enforcer): add 4-day grace period to undo a manual pick
A manual pick had no escape hatch: once locked in, every command except
done/check/status/enforce/setup/serve exited 1 for 14 days or until 100%
achievements. A wrong pick meant two weeks stuck with it.

Adds a short mistake-correction window:

- MANUAL_GRACE_DAYS = 4 — within 4 days, 'abandon-pick <app_id>' backs out
  of the pick. Outside it the command refuses and exits 1.
- The app_id must be passed explicitly and must match the active pick, so
  an abandon cannot be triggered by muscle memory.
- 'abandon-pick' joins _MANUAL_LOCK_EXEMPT_COMMANDS — the pre-dispatch
  lock check would otherwise block the only way out. It is dropped from
  the advertised command list once the window closes.
- Abandoning clears the lock and the assignment, uninstalls the game, and
  reuses the existing skipped_until cooldown for ABANDON_COOLDOWN_DAYS=30
  so 'scan' does not hand it straight back.
- _actions.abandon_manual_pick is state-only (no uninstall cascade),
  matching apply_manual_pick, so the gated MCP abandon_pick tool reuses it.

Also fixes a crash surfaced while picking a replacement game: the
SteamUnavailableError family (including SteamUpdateInProgressError, raised
when a game update defers a Steam restart) was only caught in the enforce
loop. cmd_hide, cmd_pick, cmd_pick_manual and both cmd_done reconciliation
points called hide_other_games bare, so an undrivable Steam aborted the
command with a traceback — after the pick had already been saved. All six
sites now go through the new stdout-free try_hide_other_games wrapper and
report "Library hiding: skipped (<reason>)" instead.

Verified live: lock message advertises the window, expired/wrong-id/no-arg
paths exit 1, and abandoning released the AoE2 lock, uninstalled it and
recorded the 30-day cooldown. 1030 tests pass at 100% coverage.
