Support SteamOS gamescope (aka Game Mode)

[mdeguzis]

Problem description

Heroic Games Launcher does not fully work in Game Mode under SteamOS.

Feature description

Heroic mostly works fine in gamescope / game mode, but it would be amazing if the few minor UI issues with clicking drop-down menus worked. I typically use the add to steam option and just launch the games on Steam vs form Heroic. I know handling any popup windows from games is also a technical hurdle.

you should be adding the games to gamemode, not heroic itself

This is a feature request, not a bug, I understand it's meant to be currently used in desktop mode. I also set "Add to Steam" in settings. If the game is an easy install (no popups that may get list), it actually works well, and I restart steam to see the game. Restarting Steam is technically not required (See methods Junk Store uses in code), but the biggest issues right now are

1. Drop down menus / input iffy in general (may be an Electron thing...)
2. Pop up windows

there is a work-in-progress PR already to fix this #4059
