    buildall: name CMD-xx.COM after the FreeDOS LANG codes (PL, SV, SL, SR, UK, PB)

`buildall.bat` names the language builds with its own abbreviations (`PO` Polish, `SE` Swedish,
`SI` Slovene, `Ser` Serbian, `UKR` Ukrainian, `PTR` Brazilian Portuguese), so the package contains
e.g. `NLS\CMD-PO.COM`. Everything that picks the localized shell looks for `CMD-%LANG%.COM`:

- `NLS\MAKECMD.BAT` in the FreeCOM package itself (`if exist cmd-%lang%.com ...`),
- the FDI-x86 and FDI installers (`if not exist ...\CMD-%LANG%.COM goto NoCommand`).

With `LANG=PL` (or SV, SL, SR, UK, PB) nothing matches and the English COMMAND.COM stays installed.
This PR only renames those six entries to the FreeDOS language codes (as in fd-nls `LangCode.md`).
The other names already match; `YUG` (yu437) has no FreeDOS language code and is left as is.
`strings/pt.lng` is not built by `buildall.bat` at all (it is in `ci_build.sh`) — left unchanged.

Found while testing the Polish Floppy Edition (T2610): the installer looked for `CMD-PL.COM`
and the package had `CMD-PO.COM`.

    DIR: don't display invalid data with devices

    DIR: don't display invalid data with devices

When doing `DIR NUL` findfirst will actually return success
with an attribute indicating a device exists with that name.
MS-DOS shows 'File not found' in this case, but FreeCOM
(and also Comcom64) can display invalid data, so let's
correct that. Since the required constant FA_DEVICE isn't
always present in `dos.h`, let's define it when necessary.

[https://github.com/FDOS/freecom/issues/181]

Before (C: is MFS, D: is FAT16):
~~~
C:\>dir nul
 Volume in drive C is IR DXXXXS C
 Directory of C:\

NUL                      0  10-30-25  6:55p
         1 file(s)              0 bytes
         0 dir(s)     49,839 Mega bytes free
C:\>d:

D:\>dir nul
 Volume in drive D has no label
 Volume Serial Number is 4A09-DBB4

 Directory of D:\

NUL                      0  10-30-25  6:55p
         1 file(s)              0 bytes
         0 dir(s)      42,698,752 bytes free
~~~

With patch (C: is MFS, D: is FAT16):
~~~
C:\>dir nul
 Volume in drive C is IR DXXXXS C
 Directory of C:\

File not found.

C:\>d:

D:\>dir nul
 Volume in drive D has no label
 Volume Serial Number is 4A09-DBB4
 Directory of D:\

File not found.

    support up to LASTDRIVE=32 (lDOS or patched MS-DOS v7)

    support up to LASTDRIVE=32 (lDOS or patched MS-DOS v7)

Changing to a drive or running DIR with only a drive letter and
colon didn't work. (DIR with drive letter, colon, backslash did
work already.) Without this patch applied:

C:\>]:
Bad command or filename - "]:".
C:\>dir ]:
File not found. - ']:'
C:\>dir ]:\
 Volume in drive ] is SRDXMS 2.10
 Directory of ]:\

LDEBUG   COM        94,208  09-19-25  6:35p
         1 file(s)         94,208 bytes
         0 dir(s)         948,224 bytes free

Note the codepage is 860, not sure how that plays out with the Euro
currency symbol.
