fix(LaunchManager): disable STEAM_OVERLAY while game is running and overlay is not focused for performance-sensitive devices #324

This change changes how we set the STEAM_OVERLAY atom while games are running. I found that there can be a drastic performance hit on low-spec devices if STEAM_OVERLAY is set to 1 while the game is running, so we now set STEAM_OVERLAY to 0 unless the user opens up a menu. On the Loki Zero, I saw a 2x performance improvement.

Did you test this against overlay mode? A lot of the removed code was specifically added to address issues in that mode that aren't present in the full session.

Tested on ROG Ally. Everything is good to go.
