docs: say the installer opens a full screen
The README, the installer steps, the choice of what to install and platform detection still described the line prompts as what a terminal shows. They now name the full-screen interface first, with --plain for the questions, and say that no default folder is taken where detection was refused.

The script auto-detects your platform, downloads only missing files, and verifies checksums.
|
||||
The script opens a full-screen installer, driven with the arrow keys and Enter, or with a controller on a handheld. It finds your setup and its BIOS folder, downloads only the missing files and checks each one. It can also copy the BIOS files from your old SD card.
|
||||
Every option, and what the installer detects and writes, is on the [installer page](https://abdess.github.io/retrobios/wiki/installer/#passing-options).

## Download BIOS packs
|
||||
|
||||
A pack holds everything its platform runs: its own BIOS list plus every file its emulator cores load. Pick your platform, download the ZIP, extract to the BIOS path. Each Download link is a page that keeps its address from one release to the next. The installer above does the same file by file. At a terminal it asks whether to install everything or to choose systems, cores and regions, and `--system`, `--core`, `--region` and `--target` make the same choice without questions. For a bare minimum, build your own pack below.

A pack over 2 GB comes in several parts (`Pack.part1of2.zip`, `Pack.part2of2.zip`), and every part is needed. Each part is an ordinary ZIP: extract them all into the same folder.
