restore: stop the first-run bulk restore from silently dropping most of the host

An end-to-end run restored 4 of 13 apps and reported
"First-run restore complete — 4 apps restored" as a success.

Two truncations, and fixing the first had hidden the second:

  * the CLI dispatcher calls handlers with no arguments, so "$@"/shift inside
    one operate on an empty list. Fixed earlier with LP_CLI_ARGS.
  * LP_CLI_ARGS was built from start.sh's "$@" — but the root wrapper invokes
    start.sh with exactly nine hardcoded positional slots. So the array could
    never hold more than nine entries, and `${LP_CLI_ARGS[@]:5}` yielded at
    most four app names.

The wrapper now forwards the real argv after those nine slots (they stay
untouched: every dispatcher reads them, and unset ones must keep arriving as
the literal "empty"), and start.sh reads it back as "${@:10}". Verified: a
preflight given six apps checks six, where five was the previous ceiling.
footprint_version 7 -> 8, since the wrapper is root-owned and baked at install.

Two further fixes so a truncation cannot pass as success again:

  * restoreFirstRunBulk with no app list is now a whole-host restore — it
    discovers the host's apps and re-applies the preflight. The installer's
    report runs in its own process, so without this an app the user was told
    would be skipped got restored anyway. init.sh now passes no list, so a
    whole-host restore builds nothing that can be truncated.
  * it counts what actually landed and returns non-zero naming the failures,
    instead of reporting the length of the list it was handed.
