A user found this in their log and had never been offered a choice:

  WARN GameStream/Moonlight compat ENABLED (--gamestream): its pairing runs over
  plain HTTP and its legacy control encryption can reuse GCM nonces
  (security-review #5/#9) — an on-path LAN attacker could MITM pairing or
  recover input. Enable only on a TRUSTED network.

They were right. The `gamestream` task carried no `Flags: unchecked`, so it was
pre-ticked; and since a silent install takes the wizard's own task defaults
(1839d756), a winget install turned it on with no checkbox ever shown. The host
warns that this plane is a security downgrade on every single start, so having
the installer enable it by default cannot be squared with our own advice — least
of all on the path where nobody sees a wizard.

Now unchecked, matching `allowpublicfw`, the other task with a security
consequence. A default install therefore lands `PUNKTFUNK_HOST_CMD=serve`, the
native-only host; Punktfunk's own clients are unaffected, since the native
punktfunk/1 plane is always on. Unattended opt-in is `/MERGETASKS=gamestream`.

Scope, deliberately: this changes FRESH installs only. `GamestreamParam` already
omits the flag entirely unless `FreshHostInstall`, so no existing host has its
choice touched by an upgrade, and anyone relying on Moonlight today keeps it.
`DEFAULT_HOST_CMD` (the service's fallback when host.env carries no
PUNKTFUNK_HOST_CMD line at all) is deliberately NOT flipped here: the installer
always writes the line explicitly, so it does not affect a normal install, and
inverting it would silently disable Moonlight for anyone whose host.env lost that
line — a runtime regression that belongs in its own change, if at all.

Docs corrected everywhere they stated the old default, since three of them now
told users the opposite of what ships: the winget Agreement shown BEFORE install
(it said "enabled by default" and gave the opt-OUT override), the Windows
packaging README, and host.env.example. The `--override` example in the installer
manifest is inverted with it (`/MERGETASKS=gamestream` to add, `!` to remove).

Verified: [Tasks] + [Code] compile with ISCC 6.7.1 on the windows-amd64 runner
(all optional features defined), and the winget catalogue rebuilds and passes
29/29 with the edited manifests.

The default install enables GameStream so stock Moonlight clients can connect. GameStream uses
legacy plain-HTTP pairing and is intended for trusted LANs only. To install without it, use
--override "/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP- /MERGETASKS=!gamestream", or run
--interactive and clear the GameStream checkbox. It can also be changed later via
PUNKTFUNK_HOST_CMD in %ProgramData%\punktfunk\host.env.
Punktfunk's own clients work out of the box. Support for stock Moonlight clients is a separate,
opt-in plane, because it pairs over legacy plain HTTP and is intended for trusted LANs only. To
install WITH it, use --override "/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-
/MERGETASKS=gamestream", or run --interactive and tick the GameStream checkbox. It can also be
turned on later with `punktfunk-host service install --gamestream=on` (or via
PUNKTFUNK_HOST_CMD in %ProgramData%\punktfunk\host.env), followed by a service restart.
