Clean up README, contribution guide, and repository metadata

- REUSE.toml: fix the Hedley path and SPDX id (CC0-1.0), mark the docset
  icons as the public-domain JSON logo
- CITATION.cff: v3.12.0 was released on 2025-04-11
- FILES.md: list all workflows, describe the Meson option defaults
- README: ctest -LE, table of contents, typos, stale Android/MinGW advice,
  moved links, merge duplicate Thanks entries, list the analysis tools
  used in CI
- CONTRIBUTING: iterative parser, json_literals.hpp is generated, links
- .gitignore: backups and release outputs; .gitattributes: mark
  generated files
- labeler: label other build systems and .github documentation
- MODULE.bazel: add the module version
