docs: restore installer prose lost in a merge

The merge of 6c1446886 took one side of wiki/installer.md for its generated samples and dropped four hand-written changes from the other (folder browser text, --restore row, muOS card text, a kept-file sample). Redone as a three-way merge, samples regenerated.
