Add VARTA to Plugin Store

VARTA is a Decky Loader plugin that marks games in the Steam Library developed or published by hostile (Russian/Belarusian) or Ukrainian developers/publishers.

Key Features:

• Seamlessly integrates into the Steam Deck UI (Library capsules and Game Detail pages).
• Displays customizable text badges or icons to indicate the developer's origin.
• Dynamically fetches up-to-date data from the public VARTA API (api.varta.games).
• Provides an in-UI setting to tweak overlay opacities, colors, and badge positions.
• Allows users to report unlisted games directly from the Steam Deck interface.

This plugin provides a completely unique functionality for the Steam Deck community, helping users make informed decisions about the games in their library.

I've tested it on my Steamdeck OLED, works perfectly fine with no unexpected behavior both in store and in the library. Quite similar to ProtonDB Badges, and placemett variations make it avalible to use both at the same time.

• SteamOS stable channel.
• Decky stable channel.
