docs/building.md sent a reader to TODO.md for what a stdlib replacement must
provide; the AKERR_USE_STDLIB=OFF build does not compile at all, which is issue
#12, so it says that instead.
Found while sweeping the consumer repositories: the handler macros trip
-Wimplicit-fallthrough, which is why libakgl cannot adopt -Wextra. That was
recorded only in libakgl and is now issue #18 -- the fourth defect in this
library found written down in a consumer rather than here.

The README was 794 lines: the summary, the design rationale, the whole macro
reference, the threading contract, the build internals and the exit-status
specification in one file. It is now 178 lines -- summary, installation,
quickstart, and an index -- and the reference material lives in docs/, one file
per topic: architecture, usage, status-codes, uncaught-errors, exit-status,
thread-safety, building.
The prose moved as written. Inbound references followed it: UPGRADING.md,
TODO.md, include/akerror.tmpl.h and tests/err_threads_handoff.c now name the
docs/ file that owns the text they cite, and AGENTS.md says where new
documentation goes so the README does not grow back.
Five factual errors fixed in the moved text:
- Both NULL-pointer examples inverted their test. FAIL_ZERO_* fails when the
expression is zero, so `(somePointer == NULL)` failed on a *valid* pointer.
They now read `(somePointer != NULL)`.
- AKERROR_NOIGNORE, four times including the #define, is AKERR_NOIGNORE.
- FINISH_NORExbTURN is FINISH_NORETURN.
- "functiions" is "functions".
- The architecture link pointed at include/akerror.h, which is generated and
not in the tree; it points at include/akerror.tmpl.h.
The quickstart is new text. It compiles under -Wall -Wextra -Werror and was run
through all three of its paths: handled usage error exits 0, unhandled IO error
prints a trace and exits with the status, success exits 0.
