Standardised README structure for all Dasher- repos, synthesised from the best parts of existing READMEs (Apple's intro, Windows' architecture diagram, GTK's dependency table, Android's status blockquote, dasher-web's badges).

Not an RFC — it's a documentation convention. Each frontend copies and adapts it.

CONTRIBUTING.md updated to link to it.

A standardised README structure for all Dasher-<Platform> repos, synthesised
from the best parts of the existing Apple/Windows/Android/GTK/Web READMEs.

The template:
- Uses the original Dasher description ('information-efficient text-entry
  interface, driven by continuous pointing gestures') + a consumer line
- Standardises: badges, status blockquote, build steps, architecture diagram,
  repo layout table, contributing + DCO, license
- Includes guidance on what NOT to include (no feature matrix inline — link
  to dasher.at/status; no v5 'PDAs' boilerplate; no duplicated DasherCore docs)
- Not an RFC — it's a documentation convention in the org .github repo

CONTRIBUTING.md updated to link to the template.
