skater: clarity based on common troubleshooting

- WinRAR causes skater to fail (lol)
- Let people know that probably something is wrong if the exploit is still unsuccessful within ten attempts
- Clarify that there is only one language setting on JPN/KOR consoles, but that users should still open system settings (to trigger a reboot)
- Add winrar notice to key-info

+ **A yellow screen**: Homebrew Launcher failed to open due to random chance. Hold the POWER button until the console turns off, then retry this section
+ **[The word "Text"](/images/screenshots/skaterhax/skater-old3ds.png)**: You have an Old 3DS, where this exploit **does not work**. If this is the case, you should follow [MSET9](installing-boot9strap-(mset9)) instead
