[GameMode] Don't probe libgamemode on every config load, preserve user setting

Two related fixes for the GameMode startup behavior on Linux:

1. configuration.c: Only call frontend_driver_set_gamemode() during config
   load when gamemode_enable is actually true. Previously the probe ran
   unconditionally with the current setting value, meaning every user on
   every config load triggered a dlopen of libgamemode.so even when the
   feature was off - producing log spam ("[GameMode] GameMode cannot be
   enabled on this system...") for the majority of users who don't have
   libgamemode installed.

   Also stop force-disabling gamemode_enable in the config when the probe
   fails. Silently flipping the user's preference to false and persisting
   it to retroarch.cfg meant a transient failure (sandbox path issue,
   library not yet installed, multi-arch mismatch, etc.) would require
   the user to manually re-enable the option on every subsequent launch.
   The user's intent should survive across sessions; if libgamemode shows
   up later, the next launch picks it up automatically.

2. frontend/drivers/platform_unix.c: Latch the unavailable state inside
   frontend_unix_set_gamemode() once gamemode_query_status() reports
   failure. The result will not change for the lifetime of the process,
   so subsequent calls (deinit cleanup, menu toggles) short-circuit
   without re-entering the Feral client code and without re-emitting the
   warning. The warning now fires exactly once per process when the user
   has gamemode enabled but libgamemode is missing.

The redundant "[Config] GameMode unsupported - disabling..." follow-up
warning is removed - it added no information beyond what the GameMode
warning already conveys.
