feat: say the installer and setup pages plainly

- The installer speaks without "you": the first screen asks "Where
  to install?", rows read "Copy the BIOS files from an old card or a
  folder", a close match reads "Close matches: ...". The handheld
  launchers and their port text follow, and the pronoun guard no
  longer lists any installer message.
- A setup that runs as an app opens on its one-line command, the
  folder table after it; a setup that runs on its own device keeps
  the network folder first, which its ZIP route needs.
- The home steps say what to do: "Its page gives one line to copy",
  "Paste it, press Enter".
