chore(release): v1.5.1 manifest bump

- csproj <Version> 1.5.0 to 1.5.1; <None Include="images\**"> now
  excludes the source-only ASCII study folder so the deploy stays
  clean
- yaml + repo.json changelog block prepended with the v1.5.1 entry,
  v1.4.8 trimmed out per the slim rule (three to four versions in
  the manifest cache, older history lives on the Gitea release page)
- repo.json AssemblyVersion + TestingAssemblyVersion bumped to
  1.5.1.0, three DownloadLink* URLs point at v1.5.1
- docs/CHANGELOG and docs/ROADMAP gain the v1.5.1 entry; ROADMAP
  Next-Cycle slot moves to v1.5.2 First-Run-Wizard rework
- README status sections updated, the previous v1.5.0 paragraph
  kept under a "Project status (pre-v1.5.1, kept for context)"
  heading
- Forge-post .github/forge-posts/v1.5.1.md added, DE body honest
  about the HITCH-win miss
- yamllint config ignores the plugin manifest yaml because it
  follows DalamudPackager's 4-space indent convention rather than
  yamllint's default 2

Changelogs are honest about the cross-plugin HITCH target from
v1.5.0 not landing this cycle.

## Project Status
**Version 1.5.1** — FontAtlas Refactor and Hellion Forge Signature. The FontManager moves from the
inherited Chat 2 anti-pattern (null! fields + a separate BuildFonts method) to a hybrid model where
the game fonts and FontAwesome are init-only handles and only the user-configurable delegate fonts
stay mutable. All five handles register inside a single `IFontAtlas.SuppressAutoRebuild` block in
the ctor, so the font atlas builds once per plugin load instead of four to five times. FontAwesome
itself is now Dalamud's `UiBuilder.IconFontFixedWidthHandle` rather than a custom delegate slot.
Live font-setting changes go through `RebuildDelegateFonts()` and no longer require a plugin reload.
Plus an embedded Hellion Forge signature (drawn by Julia Moon) appears as a fox-head silhouette in
the `/xllog` bootstrap banner and a full fox in the First-Run Wizard and Settings → Information tab.
The Honorific full-gradient port that was originally scheduled for v1.5.1 was dropped: Honorific 3.2
exposes no IPC for the rendered gradient frame, and an in-plugin port of the colour palette was
declined. The integration stays at the v1.4.7 glow-only shape.
The 10× HITCH cut targeted from the v1.5.0 cross-plugin baseline (Lightless / XIVInstantMessenger
defer their font-atlas build to land at ~7 ms; Chat 2 + HellionChat were ~75 ms) did not land — the
cost lives in the UiBuilder first-frame render path, not in the atlas build. A first-frame render
investigation is reserved for a later cycle.

### Project status (pre-v1.5.1, kept for context)
**Version 1.5.0** — DI Foundation and Service Refactor. Major architecture cycle: the plugin
bootstrap moves to a generic-host DI container (`Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting` +
`IServiceCollection`) modelled on Lightless Sync. All 18 instance-class services migrate from a
