Switched to using steam binary instead of xdg-open because it caused issues if you have multiple steams.
Nothing asks which steam to use and alvr launches first one configured somehow, and created UB on most systems with multiple steams. I checked using regular steam inside flatpak and it seemed to work just fine.

Also made simple check for SteamVR files for situations where someone set proton as compatibility tool (deliberately, or accidentally), or steam did something wrong and assumed windows version of steamvr needed to be installed.
Without that check it just says some file doesn't exist without any clues, so i think that's a good change over that.
