The visible "Punktfunk" shortcut's Steam appId is cached in SteamUI
localStorage, which lives in Steam's CEF profile — so it survives a
plugin uninstall/reinstall. Deleting the shortcut left the key dangling;
on the next mount ensure*Shortcut recalled the dead appId, took the reuse
branch, and ran SetShortcut* against a non-existent id (silent no-ops).
AddShortcut was never reached, so the entry never came back. The same
stale-reuse also made the hidden stream shortcut RunGame a dead gameid.
Verify the remembered appId still maps to a live shortcut via
appStore.GetAppOverviewByAppID before reusing it; a confident miss falls
through to AddShortcut. When appStore is unavailable, assume it exists so
a false negative can't spawn a duplicate library entry.
Also add a "Recreate library shortcut" recovery button to the QAM About
section (recreateShortcuts): drops any dead cached keys and re-ensures.
Covers deleting the shortcut without reinstalling, where no mount fires
the self-heal.
