docs(website): an operator runbook for extracting from your own UO client

Browse Source 
CLILOCS.md and SPAWN_ATLAS.md each explain WHY the operator has to supply
something out of their own client, but neither says how. UOFIDDLER.md is the
missing procedure: where to get UOFiddler, which two files in the zip matter,
which runtime it needs, where Cliloc.enu actually lives, the conversion, how to
point the site at the result, and how to confirm it took.

Verified end to end on a stock Windows box: UOFiddler 4.22.2 (Ultima.dll is
net10.0), .NET SDK 9.0.312 building the net8.0 converter, RollForward carrying
it onto runtime 10.0.8, and the site's own parser reading the output back.

Corrects one claim while doing it. CLILOCS.md said a UOFiddler GUI export
"works equally well"; it does not. Its Cliloc tab writes `Number;Text;Flag` --
three columns, flag LAST -- and parseClilocText splits on the first separator
only, so the flag is absorbed into the name and every item renders as
`quarter staff;0`. The parser already handles `number,flag,text` with the flag
in the middle, but a trailing `;0` is indistinguishable from a name that
genuinely ends that way, so this stays a documented `sed` on the operator's
side rather than a heuristic that would corrupt real names.

A UOFiddler GUI export works equally well — anything producing one of the two
shapes above is fine.
A UOFiddler GUI export works too, but **not unmodified**: its Cliloc tab writes
`Number;Text;Flag` — three columns, the flag *last* — and the parser reads
`number<separator>text`, so the trailing field is absorbed into the name and
every item renders as `quarter staff;0`. Stripping it is one `sed`, given in
[`UOFIDDLER.md`](UOFIDDLER.md) §Route B.
The parser already tolerates `number,flag,text`, with the flag in the *middle*.
It is not extended to cover the trailing form because a final `;0` is
indistinguishable from a name that genuinely ends that way — a heuristic there
would corrupt real names to save the operator one command.
