Rename GitTally to Werkator

Browse Source 
`gitTally` is the name of another product in the git space, so the
rename is a precaution; nothing about what the build system does changes.

The name follows one rule: `Werkator` where it is prose, capitalized
where it is a Kotlin type and its file, lowercase everywhere a machine
reads it — the command, packages, paths, configuration keys and values,
the Gitea check context. Environment variables keep their convention and
are uppercase throughout.

Every configuration file is still found under its pre-rename name
(`ConfigFiles`): `.gittally.yml` at the repository root, in a build
worktree and as committed on a branch, `.git/gittally/.gittally.yml` for
the machine layer. The current name wins where both exist, and the old
file is then ignored rather than merged — two files side by side are a
half-done rename, not a layering. Without the fallback an installation
that updated without renaming would not fail: a configuration that is
not found leaves every setting at its default, so it would come up
looking healthy while having forgotten its credentials and its builds.

`docs/werkator-migrationsplan.md` lists what the fallback does not
cover and has to be moved by hand — above all the state directory
`.git/werkator/`, which holds the build history, the control token and
the worktrees, and has no fallback of its own.

`docs/migration-from-legacy.md` is deleted with this: it mapped the
legacy script's environment variables, and every host it addressed has
long since moved to the YAML configuration.

Addendum (2026-07-07): the legacy per-page reload button (`⟳`, top right) was also re-added on request, next to the live indicator.
On polling pages it triggers an immediate data refresh via the page's poller; pages without a poller (artifact index) reload fully.

This already held for Gitea branch/commit links and the footer; it was added for the artifact page's log and report links, whose targets have no navigation.

Links between Werkator pages (nav, artifact index) stay in the same tab.
Addendum (2026-08-10): the artifacts column carries the whole build-reachability logic, and the nav lost its `Current` entry.
The permanent `🔗` link is rendered on the build it resolves to — the branch's latest green build — on every build table, instead of on each row of a branch with any green build.
