v4.1.0: source-only build, multithreaded-encryption fix, security hardening

Build from source with no vendored binaries:
- Remove prebuilt libzuptsdk.so / libpqvaptvupt.so (and a stray .pyc). The
  default build needs only a C compiler + make; it links no external library
  and installs no .so. The libzuptsdk-backed modes (Argon2id KDF, --pq-sdk,
  --pq-box) are gated behind an opt-in `make WITH_SDK=1`. The default password
  KDF is PBKDF2-SHA256 and --pq (native ML-KEM-768 + X25519) is the built-in PQ
  mode. openSUSE/RPM/deb/AUR/Homebrew/Nix recipes bumped to 4.1.0; the openSUSE
  spec now builds source-only (%files ships no .so, %build/%install WITH_SDK=0).

Fix: multithreaded encrypted archives were unextractable on the native AEAD
path. The parallel compress/decompress workers skipped the F-09 frame-preface
AAD that the serial path and the archive's AAD_PREFACE flag bind into every
block MAC, so each multithreaded block failed authentication. The workers now
bind the preface via a shared serializer; output is byte-identical across
thread counts and interoperates with single-threaded archives (also fixes
`--kdf pbkdf2 -t N` in any build).

Security hardening (crafted-archive memory safety + crypto):
- LZH raw code-length stack overflow + huff_lut OOB write
- overflow-safe bounds in parse_index and solid-mode extract (heap OOB read)
- SEQ decoder safe-zone heap overflow (litlen+matchlen reserve)
- require the per-block ENCRYPTED flag on encrypted archives (plaintext forgery)
- cap archive-supplied PBKDF2 iteration count (KDF-amplification DoS)
- non-elidable secret wipe in the SDK path; restored disk images created 0600

Docs: remove AUDIT.md / BENCHMARKS.md / ROADMAP.md; trim marketing/AI-styled
text and correct KDF/PQ facts across README, SECURITY, INSTALL, DISTRIBUTION,
THREAT_MODEL, THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES, the man page, and packaging READMEs. Wire
format v1.6 unchanged.

This SDK is built from source via `make sdk`; the previously vendored prebuilt `vendor/zuptsdk/libzuptsdk.so` has been removed from the tree.
This installs:

- `/usr/local/lib/libzuptsdk.so.1.0.0` (with versioned `.so.1` and `.so` symlinks)
