M2: flips fire but gate is async event (not a poll)

- Hook: force GetInternetConnectedState->connected (flags +0xCAB1A/+0xCAB1B) and
  flip GoOnline to report "1" (+0xAF530) instead of "0" (+0xADE64).
- protossl-scan: add `read` mode (hex/ascii dump at addr|module+off).
- Finding: neither flip unblocks the game; it keeps retrying GoOnline every ~7s.
  The FUT-online flow is event-driven -- the game waits for an async "online
  established" event anadius (offline-only) never pushes. Documented in
  connection-gate-findings.md. Next: trace FIFA-side flow (Ghidra) / anadius
  event-send to inject the online event.

So M2 = make `GetInternetConnectedState` report **connected** (then the game
proceeds with its existing token).
### M2 directions (do NOT do this session)
### M2 attempt results — the gate is an async EVENT, not a poll
Tried (read/write, EAAC neutralized):
- Forced `GetInternetConnectedState` → connected (set flags +0xCAB1A/+0xCAB1B → value
`"1"`; strings confirmed: +0xADE64 = `"0"` offline, +0xAF530 = `"1"` connected).
- Flipped `GoOnline` to report `"1"` (replicated its builder `+0x25BE0` with the
connected string instead of `"0"`).
**Neither made the game proceed.** Both handlers fire, no crash — but the game
**keeps retrying `GoOnline` every ~7s** and never attempts the Blaze connect.
That retry-on-timeout pattern means the FUT-online flow is **event-driven**: the
game submits `GoOnline`, gets success, then **waits for an async "online
established" event** (ONLINE_STATUS_EVENT-class) that anadius — being offline-only
— never pushes (the only `<Event sender="EALS">` it ever sends is the Challenge
handshake). So flipping poll/return values can't unblock it.
**Implication:** getting past "connecting" requires **emulating the EA-app online
event sequence** the game waits for (inject the online-status event over LSX, in
the format/order EbisuSDK expects), not a single function flip. This is a
substantially deeper task (and precedes the Blaze backend emulation).
Next: trace the FIFA-side FUT online-flow (what the game does after `GoOnline`
and exactly which event/condition it waits on) — Ghidra on FIFA23.exe (import
saved at `C:\openfut\gh-proj`), or RE anadius's LSX event-send path. `TODO/CONFIRM`.
### M2 directions (superseded — see above)
- Check whether the flags at `+0xCAB1A` / `+0xCAB1B` are settable via anadius
config / a hidden option (cheapest flip).
- Else out-detour `GetInternetConnectedState` in our `version.dll` to force the
