Zangetsu38 3327f0ffa4 gui/livearea: Add gate animation and refine notice icon rendering.
- Implement Vita-style gate animation (zoom-in/zoom-out) when opening apps or returning to the LiveArea.
- Replace Selectable gate with InvisibleButton and draw a custom pulsing highlight rectangle (Vita gate effect).
- Add a circular mask to the notice icon to match the PS Vita system UI.
- Improve AddCircleFilled/AddImage alignment by refining size, offsets, and scaling for pixel-perfect accuracy.
