tool(fifa17-recon): trace Offline Seasons team assignment hardware-only

Add a fail-closed, fresh-process native trace workflow for the Offline Seasons
fixture-to-match-team boundary. The supervisor ignores UMU's short-lived
FIFA17.exe process, requires CardsDLL, verifies TracerPid and hardware arming,
rejects pre-existing records, structurally locates fixtures/final records, and
detaches cleanly after capture.

The four payloads reproduce the measured chain without client writes:

  FUN_1800fc500
    -> actual season vector, fixture index 0 / team 73
    -> temporary [73,130000] pair (not the final record)

  CardsDLL service -> engine 0x147c652ce
    -> live final +0x14 writes at the 0x45c side stride
    -> correct [73,130000], then local overwrite [130000,130000]

  engine wrapper 0x147ce47e0
    <- CardsDLL 0x180031861
    <- CardsGameSetupAdapter local `teams` query result already 130000

All execute breakpoints and watchpoints are hardware-only. /proc/PID/mem is
opened rb. No INT3, write_memory, patch, game input, server behavior, or Rust
code. Locator uses zero-based --fixture-index (the live selector is 0 when
season/user.round is 1) and never filters on transient +0x18 handles.

"""Supervise one hardware-only FIFA17 match-team writer capture.
This is the robust fresh-client entry point. It waits for the largest-RSS
FIFA17.exe process that has CardsDLL loaded, attaches gdb before FUT navigation
can construct match teams, and loads a hardware-only GDB Python payload.
The concurrent read-only structural locator proves when the fixture and final
match-team records exist. A zero-hit result is trusted only if gdb is still
alive, TracerPid is the gdb process, the payload reported `trace_armed`, no
records pre-existed the trace, and two final records then appeared.
The default payload traces FUN_1800fc500 and derives a 4-byte teamId[1]
watchpoint from live RDX. Other payloads trace the final engine writer or its
caller; all expose the same `start_trace(log, cards_base)` entry point.
No INT3/software breakpoints. No client memory writes. /proc/<pid>/mem is opened
'rb'. The operator alone drives the game.

--trace /tmp/mt-trace.jsonl --gdb-log /tmp/mt-gdb.log --fixture-index 0
