- Merged fragmented hardware capabilities from MetalInterface8 into the authoritative MetalDevice8::FillDeviceCaps, creating a single robust source of truth that aligns with standard DX8 architecture.
- Explicitly assigned PixelShaderVersion and VertexShaderVersion to 0. This bypasses the engine's attempt to use PS1.4/terrain shaders (which currently lack full shading fidelity in MSL) and forces it to use the stable, visually perfect TSS fixed-function fallback.
- Dropped redundant #ifdef __APPLE__ macros across all Platform/MacOS source arrays, as these files are platform-native by definition.

…s to query actual hardware caps

On POSIX, %s in swprintf expects char* while MSVC expects wchar_t*.
This caused all UnicodeString::format calls with %s and wide string
arguments to silently produce truncated output (only first byte visible
due to null bytes in 4-byte wchar_t encoding on macOS).

Additionally, non-ASCII Unicode characters in format strings (U+25CF,
U+25CC) caused swprintf to fail entirely under the default C locale.

Changes:
- Set LC_CTYPE to UTF-8 in MacOSMain.mm entry point
- Add format string converter in UnicodeString::format_va that rewrites
  MSVC-style %s to POSIX %ls under __APPLE__, fixing all 22+ callsites
- Guard from_utf8 call in WOLBuddyOverlay with __APPLE__ to use
  translate() instead, preventing std::range_error on non-UTF-8 nicks

Refactored audio stream caching to use engine-native AsciiString and TheFileSystem, avoiding manual /tmp/ path construction. Implemented 'ensure_engine_running' check in AVAudioBridge to gracefully restart AVAudioEngine if it pauses during mass node stopping (e.g. on mission restart).
