Update to Proton 9.0

[rockerbacon]

Valve has release beta builds of Proton 9.0. We should get ready for the update.

The update process is just a matter of testing the newer version and updating the Proton version recommendations in the installer and documentation.

Testers wanted.

Related to #543 and #528

I can help out with this in a week or so, Swapping my GPUs out.

I run proton GE by default which is version 9 at the moment. My games include FO(3, NV, 4) and SSE.

Running FO4 vanilla out of the box, GE 9 seems perfectly fine. I have run into an issue with SSE, My mouse is bound to the upper corner. I am unsure if that a proton or system/install issue.

Updated the current MO2 install (v 2.4.4) to v 2.5.0 for use with Skyrim AE with the following. (System specs at the bottom)

GEproton 9.1 (via ProtonUP-QT) and using the following command input options
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" %command%

Thus far I have no problems interacting with Nexus Mods, including update checking, downloading and installing.

Tested SSEEditx64 v4.03 with a 527 mod load order with no problems opening, editing and saving mods.

Updated to SSEEdit v 4.04 and loaded, edited and saved mods with no problem.

I have yet to try SSEEdit 4.1.5-experimental.

The bodyslide suite, Textgen64, DynDOLOD64, FNIS for Users v 7.6XXL and WryeBash 311 Stand alone works. Wrye Bash 312.1 does not see the SSE directory.

Creation Kit loaded and rendered. I did not test further at this time, but it is a good start.

As an added benefit, LOOT v 22.3 runs as intended with no problems.

Skyrim loads with Reshade, but I have some mouse issues. As its been a while since I ran SSE it could be the whole Plasma 6 (upgrade?) business with Wayland. More testing on my part there is needed.

using proton-GE 9.4, i have no issues ingame. it also makes the mod 'Desktop splash screen' work properly compared to when running proton 8. the one issue i can see is that proton 9 disables the SKSE console log. no DLL work arounds needed for any mods. not using ENB, but using community shaders. (also there is reports of proton 8 crashing Open Animation Replacer)
Running 1.6.1170.

I'm not 100% sure but I think newer versions of SKSE default to no console. Could be wrong, could've sworn I read that somewhere. I can add that I've pretty much never used the recommended version of proton for MO2 not when it recommended 6 and not now. I've always used the latest GE Proton and I've never had a problem.

For me it didn't work on GE-Proton 8, but it works now on GE-Proton 9.
