Put the developer docs under docs/dev and index the folder for users first

docs/ had 26 developer documents flat beside the manual, and the two audiences are very differently sized: most readers want the manual and the gesture reference, a few want the register, the designs and the measurements. The manual and gestures.md stay at the top; everything for someone changing the code moves to docs/dev/, and the two documents that name their own successors — the v0.1 milestone and the UI-refinement plan — go to docs/dev/archive/ rather than being deleted, since both are still cited. docs/README.md is the index, users first. Every reference follows: code comments, Cargo manifests, the workflows, the pre-commit hook, the bench and traceability tools (which locate the repo root by docs/dev/requirements.md now), packaging, the Docker READMEs, CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and the README. The matrix links one level deeper and is regenerated. Links out of the moved documents into the tree gain a level; a link checker over every Markdown file finds none broken.

 | [How it is driven](gestures.md) | Every gesture and shortcut, by screen. Generated from the code, so it cannot describe one the application does not have |
 The [top-level README](../README.md) says what DarkRoom is, how to get it on
 each platform, and what is still missing.
 ## Changing DarkRoom
 Everything under [`dev/`](dev/) is for someone working on the code. Start with
 [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md), which says how to land a first change

 ## Conventions
 Two files here are generated and must not be edited by hand:
 `gestures.md` and `dev/traceability.md`. Both come from
 `cargo run -p traceability` and the pre-commit hook keeps them in step with
 the tree. The manual's pictures are recorded by
 [`tools/manual`](../tools/manual/README.md) and live in LFS.
 A design document links to the requirements it satisfies and to the code
 that satisfies them. When the code moves, the link moves with it; a document
 that has stopped being true goes to `dev/archive/` with a note saying what
 replaced it, rather than being deleted.
