funman300 e4c56a225e hook(fifa17): pre-warm purchase groups so the store tab bar binds natively
Fixes the ordering instead of fighting the movie. The tab bar is bound by
FUN_18007e5e0 (six caption tests -> PANEL_ID, else hide panel), which is
slot 0 of a secondary vtable invoked by the screen framework at
screen-show. On a cold session the /store/purchasegroup groups have not
arrived by then, so all six panels hide and no tab bar is drawn. Late
publishing does not fix it: deploying the 0x278a publish at render time
fired with its gate accepting (log: tabpublish=1 state=0x418) and the bar
still did not appear, i.e. the movie ignores late tab updates.

So load the groups BEFORE the store is ever opened. The store screen
issues its own pack-list request at 0x18007f25e as
FUN_180017870(*(base+0x2de0d0)) -- a single-argument call on the
storefront global. Issue exactly that call once per process from the FUT
event dispatcher, which already runs on a game thread long before the
store screen exists. When the user then opens the store, the native
screen-show bind sees a populated group list and binds the tabs itself --
the same reason a second entry has always worked.

Fail-closed: base + CardsDLL image validated, storefront read guarded,
FUN_180017870 fingerprinted before the first call, one request per
process claimed before issuing (no re-entrant double request), and
skipped entirely once groups exist. Logs prewarm= for evidence.
fmt/clippy -D warnings clean, 32 hook tests pass.
