Issue #41: launch forensics in the player bats -- exit code + never-started detection

Browse Source 
David's failures leave a 0-byte (or absent) join.log -- the exe can't
testify about a death before WinMain.  The bats now bracket it from
OUTSIDE: launch_report.txt records the launch timestamp, the exe's
EXIT CODE (fingerprints the failure class: 0xC0000135 DLL-not-found,
0xC0000005 AV, AV-kill signatures, our clean exits), whether join.log
was ever created (never-created = blocked before our first
instruction), and its size.  Verified with a synthetic -1073741819
exit.  The 'exited' message now asks players to send BOTH files.

With this + the 507 first-breath line + the crash self-report, every
failure mode now leaves evidence somewhere: bat report (pre-WinMain),
first-breath (WinMain reached), [crash] stack (anything after).
