Catalog: launch-key convention, TeslaRel410 product, drop vPOD entry

- Adopt the launch-key convention (documented in the Apps.xml header):
  fresh Guid = product id, first Launch key reuses it, each extra entry
  increments the last hex digit (wrapping F->0). Never a -1 suffix:
  keys parse as System.Guid and silently collapse to Guid.Empty.
- Rewrite BT411 LC/MR + RIOJoy keys to the convention. RP4.11 LC/MR stay
  pinned to the original console's hardcoded Guids (SiteManagement
  constants + diff tests).
- Remove vPOD from the shipped catalog: dev tool, never a console-deployed
  product (README documents the ad-hoc Add Product path instead).
- Add TeslaRel410 (DOSBox-X preservation pods): six entries, BT/RP 4.10 x
  GameClient/LC/MR, all C:\Games\TeslaPod410\pod-launch.exe with mode
  bt/rp. LC/MR boot identically (role assigned via egg hostType) and no
  {res} token (output size fixed per rig at postinstall).
- CatalogTests: now 5 products / 14 entries; full diff suite 106/106.

To add a product, append a <Product> with one <Launch>. exe must live under
the install directory the package extracts to (currently C:\Games\...).
Key convention: generate one fresh Guid for the product id; the first
<Launch> reuses it as its key, and each additional <Launch> increments the
LAST HEX DIGIT of that Guid (+1, +2, ..., wrapping F->0). Do NOT append
"-1"/"-2" to the string: keys are parsed as System.Guid and a suffixed
string silently collapses to Guid.Empty. Exception: Red Planet 4.11's LC/MR
keys predate the convention and are pinned to the original console's
hardcoded Guids (SiteManagement.RPLCAppGuid/RPMRAppGuid + the diff tests);
do not change them.

<!-- vPOD - virtual pod / game-client stand-in for testing the game consoles

rpl4opt.exe/btl4.exe and reports either ApplicationID (toggled live in
its window). Deploy it to a pod exactly like a real client; the package
(vPOD\dist\vPOD.zip, built by pack.ps1) extracts to C:\Games\vPOD. -->

<!-- TeslaRel410 - the DOSBox-X preservation pods (C:\VWE\TeslaRel410 repo).
The package (emulator\dist\TeslaPod410.zip, built by deploy\package.ps1)
extracts to C:\Games (postinstall.bat + TeslaPod410\); pod-launch.exe is
the single supervising entry point and the mode arg ("bt"/"rp") selects
the game. Camera ship and live mission review are NOT separate modes in
4.10 (the console assigns the role per IP via the egg hostType), so the
LC/MR entries boot identically and differ only by catalog role. No {res}
token: DOSBox output size is fixed per rig at install time. -->
