On a Linux without ALSA's library (most minimal server images), the
game exits at once with the loader's "error while loading shared
libraries: libasound.so.2". The supervisor took that for a crash and
restarted it five times over two and a half minutes before giving up
with "see logs/latest.log", which holds nothing about it.
Now:
- `run` starts the game with --help first (it loads no game files) and,
if the system can't load it, stops at once with the loader's line and
the packages to install on Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch and NixOS;
- `init` prints the same as a warning after "Game:";
- install.sh lists the libraries `ldd` can't find, with the same advice;
- docs/server.md says so in the install section.
Also, a service installed without the installer's launcher on the PATH
ran `<dir>/releases/<tag>/horizon-server`: Linux reports the running
program with links resolved, so the unit pinned that release and an
update never reached it. The fallback now goes through `<dir>/current`
while it points at that release.
Found by the end-to-end install check on the ThinkPad (NixOS, no
nix-ld libraries) with v2026.10.18.15.
