docs: the commercial licence covers our code, not Slint's or the MPL's - #48

COMMERCIAL.md no longer offers relief from licence notices, which belong to the components and travel with every copy. A new section says how Slint is taken under its Royalty-free licence in a closed product, what that licence leaves out, and what the MPL-2.0 crates ask. The store paragraph says the project is a licensee of Slint like anyone else. The README thanks Slint and Tauri, with the #MadeWithSlint badge.
cargo metadata counted build scripts, tests, proc-macros and features no build turns on, so THIRD-PARTY-BUNDLED.md named 541 crates and the About window carried notices for code that never ships. cargo tree with normal edges and no proc-macros resolves features the way the build does: 338 crates, Skia, wgpu and the Slint compiler gone. Of the MPL-2.0 crates only option-ext ships, and COMMERCIAL.md now names just that one.
…them is checked The generator kept one row per crate name, so a second version, such as the other windows-sys, objc2 or getrandom builds, went unlisted: 367 rows now, the same set cargo tree gives for the three shipped targets. cargo tree runs --locked, so generating the notices cannot rewrite Cargo.lock. The notices check ran only at night and by hand; it now also runs on a pull request that touches the generator, its output, a manifest or a lockfile. The README shows the #MadeWithSlint badge the Royalty-free licence names, on its white background, instead of a light and dark pair.

COMMERCIAL.md promised what the project cannot give: relief from licence notices that belong to the components, and a store exemption that ignores Slint. And the notices themselves listed code that never ships.
