Fixes a crash when no verb is provided due to accessing a nonexistent index in sys.argv.
Allows the STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH environment variable to not be set.

I assume this is an attempt to make Proton usable outside of Steam? I think it's a good thing overall. IMO we should reorganize code a bit:

  1. Don't fail if environment variables / verb are not provided.
  2. Print a help / refer to README.
  3. The current verbs should still encode assumptions about the environment and fail in an obvious way.
  4. Introduce new verbs that allow you to run outside of the Steam Client.

We depend on Steam setting up this variable and using [] will make this fail in a clear way if this ever regresses in Steam.

By doing .get() the way you do here we would silence this but also copying of the steam DLLs would silently fail.
