DS3: Update setup instructions (#3817) 

* DS3: Point the DS3 client link to my GitHub

It's not clear if/when my PR will land for the upstream fork, or if we'll just start using my fork as the primary source of truth. For now, it's the only one with 3.0.0-compatible releases.

* DS3: Document Proton support

* DS3: Document another way to get a YAML template

* DS3: Don't say that the mod will force offline mode

ModEngine2 is *supposed to* do this, but in practice it does not

* Code review

* Update Linux instructions per user experiences

### Does this work with Proton?
The *Dark Souls III* Archipelago randomizer supports running on Linux under Proton. There are a few
things to keep in mind:
* Because `DS3Randomizer.exe` relies on the .NET runtime, you'll need to install
the [.NET Runtime] under **plain [WINE]**, then run `DS3Randomizer.exe` under
plain WINE as well. It won't work as a Proton app!
* To run the game itself, just run `launchmod_darksouls3.bat` under Proton.
