Stop documenting the pre-rename fallback for users
Exactly one repository is configured with the old names, and it is migrated by hand in the same move as this release. The fallback is therefore a transition of days, not a feature anyone reading the release notes or the configuration reference has to plan around. Removed from `releases.html` and `docs/configuration.md`. The mechanism itself is unchanged and stays described where it is worked on: in `ConfigFiles`, in `StateDirMigration`, and in the migration plan. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Each of the three is also looked up under the name it had before the rename to Werkator, spelled exactly as it was: `.gittally.yml` at the repository root and in a build worktree, `.git/gittally/.gittally.yml` for the machine layer.

The current name always wins; where both exist the old file is ignored, never merged.
|

The fallback exists because a missing configuration is not an error — it leaves every setting at its default, so an installation that updated without moving its files would come up looking healthy while having forgotten its credentials and its builds.

Rename the files at your convenience; the fallback goes away with a future release.
