Subject: [PATCH] fix: preserve Proton's S: gamedrive mapping when launching
 TeamSpeak

Proton builds with the gamedrive option enabled (e.g. current Proton
Hotfix) resolve the game's Steam library from STEAM_COMPAT_INSTALL_PATH
and STEAM_COMPAT_LIBRARY_PATHS during 'proton run'. The helper never
exported them, so Proton's drive setup removed pfx/dosdevices/s: from
the live prefix every time TeamSpeak was launched. A running Arma then
fails multiplayer signature checks on any file it reopens through S:
(random "not signed by a key accepted by this server" and "Wrong
signature for file" kicks that only occur while TeamSpeak is open).

Derive both variables from COMPAT_DATA_PATH, which always lives in the
game's own Steam library. Export them only when the derived library
actually contains "common/Arma 3" (after readlink -f
canonicalization), so a noncanonical COMPAT_DATA_PATH can never point
Proton at a wrong library; otherwise warn and preserve existing
behavior. Values already exported by the user are respected.
