docs: follow visual pinball to d858a1f

Browse Source 
Starter tables are now .vpz folder packs, segment textures load a -cov.png coverage atlas beside them, table music falls back to the folders 10.8 searched (ScriptGlobalTable.cpp:120-148) and a Windows-only BAM plugin is staged. The build fetches pinmame d5e1921 now (platforms/config.sh:11): container sets unchanged, cited lines remapped.
