Fix of "Failed to retrieve wine (lutris-GE-Proton8-10-x86_64) information" about jagex-launcher-linux HOT 5 CLOSED

I believe removing the "version:" line altogether should also grab the latest supported runner that Lutris puts out.

Somewhat related:

At present, as I understand it, we're having mixed results version to version with Wine runners and Lutris, across different platforms. Lutris is supposed to allow us to specify a given runner by specifying "version" (one that we can test for compatibility & stability across multiple platforms), but for some reason it fails to work sometimes with older (non-latest) runners.

As such, it's a fight between getting consistent results and staying up to date with Lutris' latest runner. The runner listed in the install script is usually the latest one we've tested and found consistent - though I think it's due for an update to include 8-12. I'll prod Torm on this.

Ah that makes sense, I don't mess with proton too much.

This is far from a full QA test, but with the latest version of proton I am able to play osrs via RuneLite on the latest Arch Linux release w/ Gnome.

I just updated the installation script removing the Lutris-GE-Proton version, this should hopefully fix the issue.

Thanks for the PR. To add some context, we used to not have a version listed because it's supposed to default to the latest proton-GE version. This broke in the newest update so now it defaults to system wine unless the user has manually downloaded proton-ge. They have started iterating proton versions very quickly now so we updated the guide to instruct the person to take this manual step instead of manually keeping it up to date.

Hello, i have once again updated the script to try to resolve this issue, hopefully it works now.
