cproudlock d1ba3a1a02 docs: stop typing versions the code already knows
Nine documents carried a hand-typed contract version and every one was stale.
One was load-bearing: PLUGIN-EXTERNAL-REPO.md told an external author to pin
">=0.13.0,<0.14.0" while the contract is at 0.19.0, so a plugin built by
following that guide is refused by the loader at startup. The plugin count was
wrong in six more.

They now point at docs/PROJECT-MAP.md, which is generated. A test enforces it:
no document may declare a version literal, a stated current version must match
the code, and a stated plugin count must match the tree. ADRs are exempt from
the current-version rule, because an ADR states the version a decision was taken
AT - that is a record of the past, and rewriting it would falsify the record
ADRs exist to keep.

CONTRACT-STABILITY.md was missing 0.17.0, 0.18.0 and 0.19.0 - including the only
BREAKING change in the series - in the one document a site reads to choose its
pin. All three are recorded, with 0.19.0 called out: it took something away, and
it shipped before it was written down, which is the argument for pinning tight
rather than trusting that a minor bump is safe.

"""No document types a version or a count that the code already knows.
Nine documents carried a hand-typed contract version. Every one was stale, and
one of them was load-bearing: PLUGIN-EXTERNAL-REPO.md told an external author to
pin `>=0.13.0,<0.14.0` against a contract at 0.19.0, so a plugin built by
following the guide is refused by the loader at startup. The plugin count was
wrong in six more.
A number that is copied is a number that goes stale, and prose gives no signal
about which lines are still true. docs/PROJECT-MAP.md is generated for exactly
this, so a document points at it instead of restating it.
This test is the rule. Where a version genuinely belongs in prose - the contract
history table, a changelog entry, an ADR recording what was decided when - it is
recording the PAST, which does not go stale.
