akerr_reserve_status_range() and akerr_register_status_name() returned
private int enumerations, which was the one place in the library where a
failure was not an akerr_ErrorContext *. They now return one like
everything else: NULL on success, and on refusal an error whose status is
a real code in the library's reserved band, so it can be CATCH-ed,
HANDLE-d, PASS-ed, or left to propagate into a stack trace. Both are
marked AKERR_NOIGNORE, so discarding the result warns at compile time.

AKERR_STATUS_RANGE_OK and AKERR_STATUS_NAME_OK are gone; the remaining
seven codes move into the AKERR_* offset span and get registered names.
AKERR_LAST_LIBRARY_STATUS replaces AKERR_BADEXC as the top of that span
in the reserved-band static assert and the exhaustiveness sweep.

The refusal detail that used to go straight to akerr_log_method now
travels in the error message, so a caller that handles the error decides
whether it is reported. The two-argument akerr_name_for_status() set path
is the exception: it returns a name and cannot raise, so it logs and
releases. akerr_init() likewise has no caller to raise into, so failing
to reserve its own band or name its own codes is logged and fatal --
that can only happen on a misconfigured build, and continuing would
degrade every later stack trace to "Unknown Error".

Move the 1.0.0 upgrade notice out of README.md into UPGRADING.md and
rewrite its return-code tables in terms of the statuses now raised.

Tests: ctest 29/29, coverage 97.5% line / 64.5% branch, mutation 77.5%
(was 77.6%; the new survivors are the fatal init path, which needs a
library built with an undersized name table -- TODO item 7).
