Update mode: stop deleting user-installed apps and sysmodules

The update list deleted ~80 apps the pack never shipped (Goldleaf,
linkalho, Moonlight, NX-Shell, ...), Downloader sysmodules (SysDVR,
MissionControl, ldn_mitm, Fizeau), game title ID folders (mods/cheats),
and user folders like "Patched Apps" or "games". Anything a user
installed via OmniNX Downloader was wiped on every update.

Update mode only runs on an existing OmniNX install, so the list now
keeps only what the pack ships, components OmniNX dropped, and
boot-relevant housekeeping. Foreign-pack leftovers stay in the clean
list. Also drops 15 entries nested in deleted folders, a case-duplicate
(themezernx) and a trailing-space path.

tools/audit_update_list.py checks the list against the OmniNX repo.
