iseriser: normalize licensing to MPL-2.0 (code) + CC-BY-SA-4.0 (docs)

Make the repo's licensing story single and consistent: code/config under
MPL-2.0, documentation prose under CC-BY-SA-4.0, with both full texts in
LICENSES/ and the MPL-2.0 LICENSE at root for GitHub's licence chip.

- README: replace the PMPL-1.0/Palimpsest-Covenant badges and the
  "Licensed under the Palimpsest License" footer with MPL-2.0 (code) +
  CC-BY-SA-4.0 (docs) badges/text linking LICENSES/.
- dep5: add a docs carve-out (*.adoc, *.md, docs/**) -> CC-BY-SA-4.0 so the
  two-SPDX split is actually encoded (was *-> MPL-2.0 with no docs split).
- Remove contradictory self-licence claims from QUICKSTART-MAINTAINER.adoc,
  docs/RSR_OUTLINE.adoc, docs/STATE-VISUALIZER.adoc, rhodibot.yml comments,
  and the two Trustfile LICENSE-content checks.
- Preserve legitimate non-self references: cargo-deny's AGPL deny-list, the
  "never use AGPL" estate policy, and the Contributor Covenant CoC.

Verified: standards/scripts/check-licence-consistency.sh passes.
