Goal of this PR
Some packfiles generated by Red Dead Online (e.g. catalog_mp.rpf / catalog_awards_mp.rpf) are not stored on disk but are dynamically mounted into memory by RAGE as memory-backed virtual packfiles. These files do not represent user-modified game data, but runtime DLC/ progression catalogs that only exist transiently while the Online environment is active.
Since they are not real RPFs on disk, attempting to validate them under pure mode would incorrectly flag them as modified because memory-backed packfiles are unencrypted and their hashes are derived from encrypted on-disk data.
How is this PR achieving the goal
Nop the function that start mounting memory-backed virtual packfiles.
