docs(paged): consolidate the dev-trail docs into one canonical README

The paged-attention patch directory had accumulated ~55 scattered dev docs
(results, progress, scope, lever, and gap-analysis notes). Consolidate the
durable content of all of them into one canonical
backend/cpp/llama-cpp/patches/paged/README.md covering: what the patchset is,
the architecture (paged KV + block-table flash-attn, the gated-DeltaNet SSM
decode path, NVFP4 FP4-MMA, the decode-first scheduler), the full 0001-0030
patch series table with bit-exact status, the GB10 benchmarks
(patched-vs-stock-vs-vLLM + the Apple M4 architectural note), the dev notes
(bit-exact methodology, the per-path gate, the MoE-parity conclusion, the
rejected/flat levers, the opt-in bf16-SSM mode), arch+quant generality, the
pin + canary maintenance policy, and the published NVFP4 gallery models.

Delete the consolidated-away dev trail. Keep the three operational docs the
README links to: PIN_SYNC_c299a92c.md (canary reference), PAGED_BITEXACT_NOTE.md
(per-path gate reference) and LOCALAI_LLAMACPP_BACKEND_PLAN.md (the
ship-as-own-backend design-of-record), plus the benchmark plots + csv. The
.patch files and the unit/bench .cpp are untouched.

Repoint every external reference to a deleted doc at the new README:
grpc-server.cpp, docs/content/features/backends.md, gallery/index.yaml, the
canary apply script (PIN_BUMP_APPLY_CHECK.md -> README), and the base
patches/README.md (ADDITIVE_DESIGN.md -> README). The canary's PIN_SYNC
reference still resolves; its inert SSM_DECODE_FIX_RESULTS.md glob (a
patch-internal path matcher, not a repo-doc link) is left intact.

# build on 0019's code, the rejection cascades to them too. This is a
# PRE-EXISTING shipped-series defect, present identically on every pin, NOT an
# upstream break (see backend/cpp/llama-cpp/patches/paged/PIN_SYNC_c299a92c.md
# and PIN_BUMP_APPLY_CHECK.md). We exclude ONLY that dev-doc path and still
# and README.md). We exclude ONLY that dev-doc path and still
# apply 0019's real code hunks atomically, so a genuine code-hunk break in 0019
# still fails the canary. prepare.sh tolerates the same hunk via
# `patch ... || true`; this mirrors that tolerance precisely.
