Publish V5.1.0b_RC2: rebuilt binaries, repacked props, RC2 documentation

RC2 build, verified to launch on the Windows box and copied back into the
deployment at MW4/. Supersedes RC1 (a0331e78), which predates everything in
sections 12-17 of the test checklist.

Binaries and content
--------------------
* MW4.exe / MW4pro.exe rebuilt from CoreTech GameOS + MW4Application. Carries
  the display work that landed after the RC1 build: -tident, the full
  gos-displays.txt start-up trace with the CLASH and CTCL-type reports, the
  HSH_EnterFullScreen2 panel re-entry fix, the -tmr cameraship ladder, and the
  updated -help text.
* Launcher / autoconfig / mw4print / ctcls / MissionLang / ScriptStrings
  relinked in the same pass.
* props.mw4 + props.dep fully repacked (deleted first, not incremental), so the
  23-entry time list, the restored 7-minute default and the V5.1.0b2 console
  title are actually in the package rather than only in the source tree.
* mw4-help.txt regenerated from the new exe; the diff is the proof the built
  binary carries the documentation changes.

Documentation, renamed to RC2
-----------------------------
* RELEASE-NOTES-5.1.0b_RC1.{md,html} -> ..._RC2.{md,html}, both hand-maintained
  in step, ASCII + CRLF so they open correctly in Notepad on a pod.
  - New "Already testing RC1?" block at the top. RC1's notes already described
    -tident and the CLASH report, but the RC1 BINARY does not contain them, so
    anyone comparing the two needed that stated explicitly.
  - Time limits corrected to 23 entries (1-15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180,
    240) with the 7-minute default restoration called out.
  - New section on the cameraship Map/Armor screen: background but no overlays
    is -ctcltype 2 on a cameraship, not a video card. Includes the
    "CTCL type =" log line and -tmr 3 as the follow-up check.
  - -fps description corrected: the per-second column is a 5% low and the 1% /
    0.1% lows are in the session summary. The old text described behaviour that
    had already been changed.
  - Switch table gained -tmr; known issues gained stereo-only audio and the
    single-monitor -tident caveat; upgrade checklist now names V5.1.0b2.
* testing-checklist-5.1.0b1.txt -> testing-checklist-5.1.0b_RC2.txt, with a
  build-requirements header and new sections 12-17 covering -tident, the
  display trace (including a deliberate -tmon clash to exercise the CLASH
  report), the panel re-entry fix, cameraship/-tmr, 240-minute missions and a
  -help verification pass.
* OPTIONS-INI.md: TimeList_Index is documented as no longer driving the console
  lobby default (the script uses a literal since the list was expanded) while
  TimeList_Value remains live; added a table of the files the game writes next
  to MW4.exe. Also repaired the CP949/CP1252 damage in that file - it carried
  literal 0xA1 0xE6 arrows, 0x97 em dashes and ~20 '?' characters where dashes
  had been lost. Now pure ASCII.
* README.md points at the RC2 notes.

Source
------
MW4Application.cpp help text: -fps now matches what gos-fps.txt actually
prints, and -ctcltype states that a cameraship must use 3 and what goes wrong
when it does not. Audited all 80 switches parsed in the file against the help
array - none missing, and no game-facing switch is parsed anywhere else.

Deployment housekeeping
-----------------------
* dgVoodoo.conf: ScalingMode = stretched_ar, which is the setting the release
  notes require and which fails SILENTLY when wrong. FPSLimit was left at 20
  from bench testing and would have shipped a 20 fps cap to every Win10/11 pod
  - raised to 60.
* banner.txt reset from a test string to the shipped placeholder.
* Removed two stray screen000*.bmp captures and the duplicate dbstruct.txt
  (db_schema.sql is the current name, per b4089291).
* .gitignore: gos-displays.txt and gos-fps.txt are truncated on every launch
  and are per-machine, so they are no longer mirrored.

Not yet done: multi-monitor pod testing of this binary. -tident, the re-entry
fix and -tmr have not been exercised on real MFD hardware - that is what the
new checklist sections are for.
