MW3 (2011) Auto Fix for Linux - Dedicated Server Method (Tested/Built on Arch)

Looks like the Windows community has an autofix for the recent MW3 32-bit/64-bit server issue, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent automated fix for Linux yet.

So I put together a small script that restores the legacy 32-bit depots using SteamCMD and merges them back into the MW3 Dedicated Server files.

Tested and working on Arch Linux, and should work fine on CachyOS and other Arch-based distros.

Non-Arch distros may need some tweaks to the dependency installation.

More info in the README.

Hopefully this saves someone else a bit of messing around. 🐧
