fix: load games-config via the malyon hook, not an autoload chain

The previous deferral (cfcb7cf0) autoloaded malyon to games-config, but games-config doesn't define malyon. It leaves the command to the malyon package, so M-x malyon loaded games-config, found malyon still undefined, and errored "Autoloading games-config.el failed to define function malyon". Emacs won't chain through a second autoload.

malyon and 2048-game autoload their own commands via package.el, so games-config should never own them. init.el now loads games-config via (with-eval-after-load 'malyon ...), and games-config just sets malyon-stories-directory when malyon loads. M-x malyon loads the package as a real command, then games-config applies its config.

The earlier batch check loaded the files by hand and missed the autoload failure. The new test resolves the autoload the way M-x does (autoload-do-load), so the real path is covered now.
