Recent versions of the Steam Runtime include an IPC server/client pair
which can be used to run commands inside the container environment
(or any other special execution environment), analogous to sshd/ssh or
flatpak-portal/flatpak-spawn. The server runs inside the Steam Runtime
container and accepts commands over D-Bus; the client runs on the host
system, asks the server to run a command, and forwards its stdin, stdout
and stderr back to the host.

adds support for injecting commands into the SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier
compatibility tool (and any later version, such as sniper). However,
Steam compatibility tools are stackable: in particular, Proton runs in a
soldier container (or presumably sniper in future). If we are debugging
a Proton game, then ideally we will want to inject commands into Proton's
execution environment rather than soldier's, so that they run with the
correct environment variables etc. to communicate with a running Proton
session. In particular, it's important that the `WINEPREFIX` is correct.
The steam-runtime-launcher-interface-0 program implements the
interface for compatibility tools to use to decide where, if anywhere,
to launch the command server.
This commit does not alter the scripts produced by
PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS. To run those scripts' commands in the
container environment, pass their filenames to
steam-runtime-launch-client.

This removes games that we believe are fixed by the initial improved
implementation of the mfdxgidevicemanager - specifically games with
graphical distortion during video playback.

Those are the original repos that were later moved to freedesktop.org.
The author recently started updating them as mirrors.
Freedesktop.org goes down much more often than GitHub and we fetch
everything else from GitHub anyway.
It's better to depend on fewer hosting services to have fewer
interruptions.
