0f4ab63101 patchmanager: fix signature patches reporting neither on or off (#873)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
None

## Description of change
Patch Manager showed valid signature patches as broken: **"Bad patch;
patch is neither on or off"** instead of Enabled/Disabled, so they could
not be toggled.

`SignaturePatch::to_memory` had two bugs. In the configurator it cached
a file offset as `data_offset_ptr`, so status checks `memcmp`'d a fake
address. It also passed JSON `offset` into `find_pattern` while still
indexing the signature/replacement from 0, which mis-aligned every patch
with `offset != 0`. This change locates the signature start, applies
`offset` afterward, compares only the replacement window, and leaves the
pointer null so `is_patch_active` re-resolves from `data_offset`.

Not proposed as built-in patches. The JSON below is the reproduction
case: each entry uses `offset > 0` and a replacement shorter than the
signature.

## Testing
Reproduced in Patch Manager against `bm2dx.dll` using the signature JSON
below. Before the fix, every patch reported "neither on or off". After
the fix, each patch locates, shows Disabled/Enabled, and toggling writes
only the replacement bytes at `signature_match + offset`.

## Demo
