Sweep user-facing docs from "MeshCore Open" to "Offband Meshcore":
README, docs/PRIVACY_POLICY, documentation/*, CONTRIBUTING, TESTFLIGHT_GUIDE.
- Prominent README attribution (fork of MeshCore Open by zjs81, MIT) + a
Credits section. LICENSE left untouched (zjs81 copyright retained).
- Removed the upstream donation block (Solana/Monero/BTC) per owner.
- Removed upstream-only pointers that would misdirect (zjs81 Obtainium badge,
meshcoreopen.org); pointed clone/issues at Strycher/meshcore-open; fixed the
stale iOS bundle id -> app.offband.meshcore.
CLAUDE.md (dev-facing instructions) intentionally left as-is.
