docs: flagship README for the 8.0 GA; GA version is 8.0.1

Browse source 
Rewrites the README around the feature-showcase structure: write->index->query
table, runnable quick start (subtype-correct on the 8.0 strict default, real
VerbTypes), feature tour with per-pillar code, the scale-up path to
@soulcraft/cor, and measured-only performance claims with benchmark citations.

GA retargets to 8.0.1: npm permanently retired the 8.0.0 version number after
a January development-cycle publish/unpublish, so the first stable 8.x release
is 8.0.1. RELEASES.md documents this; the phantom 8.0.0 CHANGELOG entry is
removed (the release run regenerates it as 8.0.1).
