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

Browse Source 
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.

- **Agent Authentication** — Agents authenticate to the server via API keys (same mechanism as users). Agent credentials are separate from user API keys.
- **Private Key Policy** — Agent-side key generation is the default (`CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=agent`). Server-side keygen (`CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=server`) requires explicit configuration and logs a warning: "Server-side keygen enabled — private keys will be stored in PostgreSQL (development only)".

**certctl Implementation** (V2):
- **TLS for Control Plane** — All API communication occurs over HTTPS (TLS 1.2+). Server uses `tls.Dial()` for outbound connections to issuers and targets. Configuration: `CERTCTL_SERVER_ADDR` (default `:8443`).
- **TLS for Control Plane** — All API communication occurs over HTTPS (TLS 1.2+). Server uses `tls.Dial()` for outbound connections to issuers and targets. Configuration: `CERTCTL_SERVER_HOST` (default `127.0.0.1`) + `CERTCTL_SERVER_PORT` (default `8080`; Docker Compose maps to `8443`).
- **Agent-to-Server Communication** — Agents submit CSRs and heartbeats over HTTPS to the server using the same TLS stack.
- **Private Key Isolation** — Agents generate ECDSA P-256 private keys locally (`crypto/ecdsa` + `crypto/elliptic`). Private keys are never transmitted to the server — agents submit CSRs only. Private keys are stored on agent filesystem (`CERTCTL_KEY_DIR`, default `/var/lib/certctl/keys`) with 0600 (owner read/write only) permissions. Server-side keygen mode logs a development warning; production must use agent-side keygen.
- **Certificate Storage** — Signed certificates are stored in PostgreSQL as PEM text (along with metadata). Certificates are not secrets and may be transmitted plaintext. Private keys are never stored on the control plane in production (agent-side keygen mode).
