Replace native GFN (impossible on this GPU) with browser GFN + Moonlight

The native GeForce NOW client hard-requires Vulkan video-decode
extensions (error 0xC0F11312) and the BC-250 has no video decode
hardware — unfixable at driver level. Replaced with:
- Chromium + a GeForce NOW web-app shortcut (works on Linux Chromium
  without UA tricks nowadays; CPU-decoded 1080p)
- Moonlight client for streaming from a home Sunshine host (planned:
  VM with RTX 3050 passthrough on the R730)
Drops bc250-gfn-install service/script.
