Hosted races stage properly: the owner no longer launches itself

Round five reached the race - full mesh on all three machines, eggs,
ACKs, mission running - but the owner raced ALONE. Cause: the engine
self-runs a pod at WaitingForLaunch when its console host is not
online (the arcade no-console fallback), and the owner''s in-process
console never connects to its own pod. On fast-loading owners the
self-run beat the console''s staging gate, so RunMission was never
sent and the members sat staged at black screens until someone hit
the & emergency-abort key.

gConsoleMarshalsLaunch (APPMGR) now tells the engine an in-process
console owns the launch: the network-race install sets it and the
owner holds at WaitingForLaunch with everyone else; plain single
player leaves it False and auto-runs as always. Verified on loopback:
all pods staged - RUN is back in the hosted-race log and both the
hosted race and the single-player cycle pass.

Also: unhandled-exception minidumps (rpl4crash.dmp beside the exe,
dbghelp loaded lazily) so test-machine crashes hand back stacks.
