docs(link): clilocs come over the bridge now, and UOFiddler's first job is gone

Phase 2 of the Asset Bridge is built, so the documentation stops telling an
operator to install a GUI tool.

`v8.md` gains §9.1 and §9.2 — what the port cost, what it measured, and where the
base table comes from now. The measurement worth keeping: **67,496 rows in
290 ms**, which is exactly what UOFiddler's own `Ultima.dll` produced from this
same client through the converter this phase deletes. An independent
implementation agreeing to the row is the strongest check available that a format
decoder is correct, and it is not something a subtly-wrong one produces.

§17 records the four shapes the org lead settled before any of it was written.
Two departed from the recommendation: **the bridge always wins** (no source
setting — there is no version of that question an operator benefits from
answering) and **import is admin-triggered** (boot does not call the shard at
all).

`CLILOCS.md` is rewritten around that: where the table comes from, what arrives
and in how many pieces, the refusals — including the two the file pipeline had no
equivalent of (a client patched mid-import, and the base's exemption from the
vanished-source rule, which exists so an upgraded install is not asked to approve
a change the upgrade itself made).

`UOFIDDLER.md` loses Part 1 entirely rather than having it rewritten. What is
left is creature art, which phase 5 takes, after which the page goes away. `v3.md`
§8.6 keeps its reasoning with a note saying what superseded it, because the
argument for why the manual step existed is still the argument for why this was
worth building.

**Shards edit items and add new ones**, and those carry ids no stock client table has — so this reads
a **set** of sources, not one file, hash-gated together and re-read on every boot exactly as §6 reads
