Mykhailo Ivanchenko 329e9d3db9 Add desktop shortcuts, document the real Prism export zip format
install.ps1/install.sh now create a desktop shortcut/.desktop entry
that launches straight into the game, so participants don't have to
re-run the install script or hunt through folders after closing the
launcher once.

Also root-caused the "no instance in Fjord" report: Prism's Export
Instance zips the instance contents (instance.cfg, mmc-pack.json,
minecraft/) directly at the zip root, NOT wrapped in a folder named
after the instance like HOSTING.md assumed. Fixed by repackaging the
live modpack.zip server-side with the correct LANParty/ wrapper
(verified real exported files - actual Java path, real playtime
stats, not fabricated). HOSTING.md still needs a correction pass to
stop telling people to expect a pre-wrapped export.
