Way to tell if an app was launched from Catalog or not (Lua)

(Is there some indirect way to do this now by reading playdate.metadata?)

This would make it simpler to fully and cleanly support users on both Itch (or whatever) and Catalog with a single project/codebase.

Examples:

• My Itch title mentions Itch in the in-app documention: both in regards to installing updates, and in a request for ratings/reviews. I could hide those strings for Catalog users.

• My Itch title uses a QR code to check for Itch updates. I could disable that functionality for Catalog users.
