Bump to 0.3.0 with the audit, brand and command-rename changelog

Phase 2 of the audit follow-ups, the Hellion Online Media brand
sweep and the rename of the slash commands all land in one release.
The slash command rename is breaking for users who had macros bound
to /chat2, /chat2Viewer or /clearlog2, which is the main reason
this is a 0.3.0 rather than a 0.2.1.

csproj, plugin manifest yaml, custom-repo repo.json (assembly
version, testing assembly version and the three download links)
and the README version banner are all moved over together so the
Dalamud plugin list, the manifest and the install instructions
agree. The README project status checklist is updated to reflect
that Phase 2 is closed; Phase 3 holds the remaining backlog
(MySQL backend, encryption, libnotify, etc).

The yaml and repo.json changelogs gain a 0.3.0 block that walks
through the four substantial groups of changes (slash command
rename, audit hardening, brand sweep, About tab) in plain prose.
The 0.2.0 block stays underneath in chronological order.

Build (Release) verified — ChatTwo/bin/Release/HellionChat/latest.zip
(~17.5 MB) and HellionChat.json regenerate cleanly with no warnings.
The tag itself is created by hand alongside the GitHub release.

**Hellion Chat 0.3.0 — Audit hardening, brand sweep and rebrand of slash commands**
This release closes the remaining audit follow-ups from the
0.2.0 cleanup and finishes turning Hellion Chat into a properly
branded fork rather than a Chat 2 with a different name.
Slash commands have been renamed across the board so they no
longer collide with the upstream plugin and tell you which
plugin owns them at a glance:
- /chat2 becomes /hellion
- /chat2Viewer becomes /hellionView
- /clearlog2 becomes /clearhellion
- /chat2Debugger becomes /hellionDebugger (internal)
- /chat2SeString becomes /hellionSeString (internal)
This is a breaking change for anyone with macros bound to the
old command names. The upstream Chat 2 commands keep working
if you also have that plugin installed.
Privacy and storage hardening based on the post-0.2.0 audit:
- Privacy filter master switch now states explicitly that the
filter only governs storage, not the live chat log
- Emote cache refuses to write outside its own directory if a
third-party API ever returns a path that escapes
- Retention sweep is serialised so the 24h auto-sweep and the
manual button cannot launch in parallel and race for the
SQLite connection
- DbViewer paging uses an int constant and the matching SQL
parameter name (the upstream code passed a float and a name
without the parameter prefix; both worked in practice but
were inconsistent)
Visual identity now matches the Hellion Online Media website:
- Theme palette switched to Arctic Cyan plus Ember Orange,
matching the website's BRANDING.md tokens
- Active tabs and window title bars use a brand-color-dark teal
variation as identity colour, replacing the previous slate
violet that did not appear in the brand
- Resize grips and scrollbar grabs picked up Ember Orange
instead of industrial amber on hover and active states
About tab rewritten and properly localised:
- New "Why this fork exists" block sets out the mission in
neutral terms, framing Chat 2's full-history default as the
right one for most users while explaining the narrower
default footprint this fork chose
- All Hellion-specific About copy now lives in HellionStrings
in EN and DE, so German users see the Hellion sections in
German rather than the upstream English fallback
- Webinterface absence is described as a focus mismatch
(different use case, substantial rebuild) rather than as
a security issue with the upstream code
- Translator list at the bottom of the About tab is reachable
again on smaller settings windows
Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
**Hellion Chat 0.2.0 — Webinterface removed**
The upstream webinterface has been removed in its entirety. It
