Sylpheed RE agent 01580d294e tools: two dead flags that made every emulator boot script fail silently ...

Trying to read a third paint order off the running game turned up two bugs in
the capture harness, both of which fail in ways that look like the game
misbehaving rather than the script being wrong.

1. `--audio` is not a cvar in this tree, and eight boot scripts passed it.
   Xenia calls ShowSimpleMessageBox from ParseLaunchArguments, BEFORE logging is
   initialised, so the symptom is a 10x10 window, no log, no guest memory and a
   dialog that blocks on XIfEvent forever - i.e. a hang deep in the emulator.
   run-canary`s own header documents this exact trap; the scripts predate it.
   Removed from all eight.

2. `vgamepad` no longer exists - the uinput pad was replaced by the --hid=file
   driver and pad.py - but skip_intro.sh still called it. The script runs
   without `set -e`, so the call failed silently and the title branch pressed
   nothing while still exiting 0. A caller was told "TITLE -> A" with the game
   sitting on the title screen. It now presses through pad.py and exits 6 if
   that fails.

The first bug is fixed and verified: the boot now reaches the title screen with
PRESS (A) BUTTON. The second is fixed but does NOT unblock the title - see the
next commit.
