cproudlock 23b1dfff41 Load the equipment catalog from the console ...

The installer offers the catalog as a tick-box, which covers new sites and
nobody else. A site that installed before it existed, or unticked the box and
later changed its mind, had to be talked through an RDP session and a flask
command - which is exactly the sort of thing the console exists to avoid.

`shopdb-admin.ps1 catalog`, and C on the menu. It runs the dry run FIRST and
prints what would be added, then asks before writing: somebody running this on a
site that has been live for years deserves to see what it would touch before it
touches anything. Answering anything but yes leaves it alone.

An older build without the seed-catalog command is reported as such and told to
update, rather than the failure being read as an empty catalog.

Repair is now on the menu too. It was reachable only by typing the verb, which
is little use to the operator most likely to need it.
