docs: fix 16 discrepancies found by cross-validating all docs against source code

CLI syntax corrected across 5 files (concepts, demo-guide, demo-advanced,
architecture, features): list-certs→certs list, get-cert→certs get, etc.
Removed non-existent health/metrics commands, replaced with status.
Subcommand count 10→12 everywhere.

architecture.md: Go 1.22→1.25, endpoint count 91→93, ER diagram expanded
from 15 to 21 tables (added renewal_policies, certificate_revocations,
discovered_certificates, discovery_scans, network_scan_targets).

connectors.md: added GenerateCRL and SignOCSPResponse to issuer interface,
added Email and Webhook rows to notifier config table.

compliance docs: fixed keygen warning messages to match actual log output,
CERTCTL_STEPCA_PROVISIONER_KEY→CERTCTL_STEPCA_KEY_PATH, openssl genrsa→
crypto/ecdsa.GenerateKey, CERTCTL_SERVER_ADDR→CERTCTL_SERVER_HOST+PORT.

README.md: v2.0.0 version bump, solo developer mention, feature list,
table of contents, documentation table moved to top, 7 fact-check fixes.

- Control plane generates RSA 2048-bit or ECDSA P-256 keys using `crypto/rand` + `crypto/rsa`.
- Server signs CSR and stores the private key in the certificate version record for agent deployment. **Security note:** In server keygen mode, the control plane holds private keys — this is why agent keygen mode is the recommended default for production.
