Owner

Why

Longshot's builders no longer have a window (MagicBeanDev/Longshot#181): players only need this launcher. docs/releases.md is kept byte-identical in both repositories, and its Longshot copy changed in #181.

What changed

docs/releases.md, 3 places, the same text as Longshot#181:
- The Linux AppImage's Python runs the tools' download and make_game.py, no longer a window.
- The AppImage's first --cli downloads the missing tools and prints its progress on stderr; there is no progress window any more.
- The builders' update is --cli --update <folder>.

Nothing else: the launcher never started the builders' windows (Core/MakeGameCommand.cs runs the release's Python on make_game.py).

The same edit as MagicBeanDev/Longshot#181 to docs/releases.md, which the two
repositories keep byte-identical: the Linux AppImage's Python no longer runs a
window or shows a download window (its --cli prints progress on stderr), and
the builders' update is --cli --update.
