Add section on setting an alternate Steam launch option to basic setup (#143)
Instead of adding a non-Steam game or switching command line parameters, Steam can be configured to prompt for a launch configuration every time. This adds instructions on achieving that with SteamEdit.

+### Adding Alternate Launch Option for Steam
+
+Steam can be configured to prompt for starting either Northstar or vanilla when Titanfall 2 is launched. This example uses [SteamEdit](https://steamedit.tg-software.com/), however another `appinfo.vdf`/`packageinfo.vdf` editor can be used.
+
+Download [SteamEdit](https://steamedit.tg-software.com/), extract it, and run `SteamEdit.exe`. Select **TitanfallĀ® 2** from the dropdown.

+Enter a name for Northstar and enter `NorthstarLauncher.exe` as the executable.

+Click **OK** to close LaunchEditor, and click **Save & Refresh** to save your new configuration and restart Steam.
