refactor(8.0): remove the 4 deprecated query-operator aliases (clean break)

8.0 keeps the canonical operators (eq/ne/gt/gte/lt/lte) and their clean
long-form aliases (equals/notEquals/greaterThan/greaterThanOrEqual/lessThan/
lessThanOrEqual), and drops the four redundant deprecated spellings:
  is → eq,  isNot → ne,  greaterEqual → gte,  lessEqual → lte

Removed from every evaluator (metadataIndex criteria + range switches,
metadataFilter, the db whereMatcher egress path) and from the
BrainyFieldOperators type, the unsupported-operator error message, the docs
(QUERY_OPERATORS / api README / VFS projection + semantic guides), and the
whereMatcher alias tests. Also migrated Brainy's own internal use — the VFS
TemporalProjection queried with greaterEqual/lessEqual, which would have
silently broken — to gte/lte.

Full gate green: build, unit 1512, integration 607.

**How it works:** Tracks the `modified` timestamp on every file and runs a range query (`greaterEqual`/`lessEqual`) over one 24-hour window for O(log n) performance. The VFS does not store historical file contents — `/as-of/` filters by *when a file last changed*; reads return the current bytes. For point-in-time state, use the Db API (`brain.asOf(generation)`).
