funman300 132a013b39 fifa17-recon: card identity is a DATA problem -- live probe proves the record model
Adds tools/card_identity_probe.py, a read-only /proc/PID/mem walk of the CardsDb
card map that reports the identity the CLIENT resolved for every card it holds.

Why it matters: identity never comes from us. The item-parser tail registers every
parsed item into the map, and immediately before that FUN_180141660 -> FUN_180135890
queries the client's own local players table by resourceId & 0xffffff. On a hit it
fills name/face and leaves our rating/position/attributes alone; on a miss it writes
a fixed generic card (rating 0x32, teamid 0x78d, nation 0xe, position 2, attrs 1,
name ' '). That miss fingerprint is exactly the blank card photographed in a pack
today, so the chain is confirmed by live evidence and not only in Ghidra.

First live run, 11 nodes, 0 failed reads, size counter agrees with the walk:
Ronaldo/Messi/Suarez/Kroos/Hazard all resolve with real names, so every record
offset derived statically (+0x18 resourceId, +0xb4 rating, +0x94 teamid, +0x148
nation, +0x146 position, names inline at +0xb8/+0xc8/+0xdd) is correct live.

This makes card identity a pure DATA problem: serve real playerids. The probe is
the bulk oracle for finding them -- N candidate ids served, one read classifies all N.

Also flips FUT_STORE_DISPLAYGROUP to default on; it shipped off pending proof that
the key does not switch FIFA17.exe to another tile render path, and it was then run
live and the store tiles showed their real names.
