docs: link every client in the clients-page chooser + correctness sweep

The "Which should I use?" table on the clients page listed most client
names as bold text, not links — only the Decky plugin and pf-webos were
clickable — so the client references appeared broken. Link each client to
its section (or dedicated page), and fix a stale Windows headless command.

Repo-wide docs correctness/staleness pass against the code:
- steam-deck: client-not-found -> flatpak-not-found (the real backend code)
- install: host cert is punktfunk-host-windows_<ver>.cer, not ..._setup.cer
- configuration: GPU_PRIORITY_CLASS default is auto; 10BIT/444 are default-on
- how-it-works/index: GameStream/Moonlight is opt-in (--gamestream)
- roadmap: clipboard sync is shipped, not planned
- install-client: MSIX/cert artifacts are arch-suffixed (_x64/_arm64)
- requirements: fix garbled 22H2/IddCx sentence
- status: Linux encode also covers AMD/Intel (VAAPI/Vulkan Video)
- automation: add the plugins.changed event
- windows-host: note the optional bundled VB-CABLE virtual mic
- sway: PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR=hyprland is a wlroots-family alias
- running-as-a-service: punktfunk-probe is a source-build-only dev tool
