Drop sync API for Activity, Notes, User Status, Weather Status (#405)

## Summary
- Remove sync wrapper classes (`_ActivityAPI`, `_NotesAPI`,
`_UserStatusAPI`, `_WeatherStatusAPI`) from 4 module files
- Remove sync registrations and state resets from `_NextcloudBasic` /
`NextcloudApp`
- Remove all corresponding sync tests (68 test cases); async tests fully
cover the same functionality
- Fix `test_get_conversations_include_status_async` in talk_test to use
`AsyncNextcloud` instead of sync `Nextcloud` for user_status setup
- Bump version to **0.30.0**
- Add async-first deprecation notice to README

## Motivation
Moving nc_py_api toward async-only. This is the first batch of sync
removals, targeting modules where async tests already mirror every sync
test 1:1.

## Test plan
- [x] Pre-commit passes (isort, black, ruff, pylint)
- [x] Full test suite: 538 passed, 6 skipped (same skips as before)
- [x] `grep -r
'_NotesAPI\|_WeatherStatusAPI\|_UserStatusAPI\|_ActivityAPI'` returns
zero hits
- [x] No remaining sync references to removed modules in tests

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Library is async-first with a full asynchronous API; synchronous
wrappers are being phased out.

* **Documentation**
* Deprecation notice for the sync API effective v0.30.0 and migration
guidance to async equivalents.

* **Refactor**
* Sync implementations for Activity, Notes, User Status and Weather
Status removed; async counterparts remain.

* **Tests**
  * Many sync tests removed or replaced with async variants.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Safer handling for missing talk-bot fields and early-exit for
non-message objects.

+### Deprecation notice: sync API
+
+Starting with version **0.30.0**, we are gradually removing sync wrappers in favour of
+the async API. The following modules have already lost their sync counterparts:
+**Activity**, **Notes**, **User Status**, and **Weather Status**.
+
+All remaining sync methods will be phased out in future releases. If you are still
+using the sync `Nextcloud` / `NextcloudApp` classes, we recommend migrating to
+`AsyncNextcloud` / `AsyncNextcloudApp` as soon as possible.
