Drop foundry.toml release metadata: version intent lives in next-v tags (rainix#335)

[thedavidmeister]

Drops the [external.package] release-metadata section (and its attached comment block) from foundry.toml, per the ruling on rainlanguage/rainix#335, and updates the one stale README reference to that section to describe the current version source. Since rainlanguage/rainix#336 merged, rainix-autopublish derives the publish version from the Soldeer registry + next-v* git tags and never reads this section, and the publish gate excludes the section (including its attached comment block) from the content hash — so this deletion is content-neutral: it cannot mint a spurious release and changes no behavior. The tests that read foundry.toml at runtime (LibCodeGen.maxLineLength.t.sol, LibFs.t.sol) only assert on [fmt] and fs_permissions keys, which are untouched. Verified locally: nix develop -c reuse lint (compliant), forge soldeer install and forge test (282 passed, 0 failed).

QA

• Discriminating tests: n/a - config-metadata deletion; nothing reads the section since rainix#336 (local nix develop -c forge test: 282 passed, 0 failed; reuse lint compliant)
• Mutations applied: n/a - no code changed
• Oracle: rainix#336 gate semantics (section excluded from content hash; version from registry + next-v tags)
• Category check: issue asks removal of release metadata from consumers; covered exactly for this repo (foundry.toml section + stale README sentence)

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 31986

This change removes obsolete release metadata without changing publish or test behavior. A minor README wording clarification is recommended to avoid ambiguity about dependency versions, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Clarify the scope of “no version is recorded”.

soldeer.lock records dependency versions, including forge-std 1.16.2. If this sentence refers only to the package release version, state that explicitly to avoid implying that the repository contains no version data.
