Update Aemulus instructions to use the simpler installer

[alexankitty]

On the Persona 3 FES Modding section there is a substantially easier installer I put together that I would recommend using instead with fully working one click support.

The relevant info on the readthedocs is here https://persona-3-fes-modding-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/linuxaemulussetup.html

The actual installer is here https://github.com/alexankitty/aemulus-installer-linux

At last check I think steam deck might require wine-staging to get a recent enough version of wine to run aemulus with full support, but I'm not 100% certain on that.

I don't really like the idea of recommending users to disable immutability on the Steam Deck. It's not a rock solid solution and things can and do break.

Disabling immutability to run Wine seems doubly strange since you can just use applications like Lutris/Bottles (and Steam itself) to manage Windows applications. I think the better solution would be to create a script that utilizes one of those avenues (possibly through UMU) instead of disabling immutability.

I'll add another solution later to use the script without disabling immutability but it'll take me time to do that. I don't personally see the issue but I understand having the options are important. I primarily put the installer together for people using Linux.

I think the ideal solution to this will be to see about making it an app image instead that way everyone wins. I'll see if I can get one working and report back. Should all be self contained so no concerns about immutability.

Sorry it took a while. Here's a script that uses the wine appimage instead and automatically pulls the latest version. I tried to do it via flatpak but ran into a mess of issues. https://github.com/alexankitty/aemulus-installer-linux/blob/main/AemulusSetupImmutable.sh
