Make diagrams self-contained and lead the README with them

The SVGs relied on stylesheet classes supplied by the tool that rendered them
- outside it they were black boxes with invisible text. Each now carries its
own <style> block with light and dark palettes.

Also regenerates the overview, which still showed the old row-staggered 36/39
halves, and adds a licence section: nothing is chosen yet, so default
copyright applies.

A three-piece keyboard: two mirrored halves plus a numpad/nav/media board that
also carries the USB hub. One cable reaches the computer.

Status: **design**. No boards ordered, no firmware written.

[`docs/104-key-split.svg`](docs/104-key-split.svg) for how the original layout
maps across the three boards.
## Licence
Not yet chosen. Until one is added, default copyright applies: you may read
this, but not build, fork or reuse it. If that isn't the intent, add
CERN-OHL-S or TAPR OHL for the hardware, and GPL-2.0 for anything derived from
QMK.
The PDFs under `Documents/` are vendor datasheets (WCH, ST) redistributed for
convenience and are **not** covered by whatever licence this repo adopts.
