docs(readme): trim comparison prose, drop star icons/counts

[BlackHole1]

Follow-up to #44. The comparison table landed fine, but the prose around it was too heavy: the "where LockIME fits" note was a single dense paragraph, and the intro and "other tools" lists carried decorative ★ glyphs and GitHub star counts — noise that also goes stale.

This drops every ★ and star count (a qualitative "most widely-used" still conveys popularity), splits the dense block into a short "Choosing between them" plus a one-line "Other tools", folds the — legend into the footnote, and cuts the closing note to a single line. The comparison table itself is untouched — net −60 lines.

Per the README i18n rule, the same trim is applied to all eight translations under docs/README/, kept row-for-row in sync.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Revised the README comparison sections across multiple languages.

  • Updated comparison notes and footnotes to make availability, permissions, and timing details clearer.

Walkthrough

The Comparison section across README.md and all eight localized README files (German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese) was rewritten. The opening paragraph now more concisely frames LockIME as centered on continuous re-locking on input source drift, with per-rule fallback to one-time switching. The post-table guidance was restructured from a single "Where LockIME fits" block into two shorter blocks: "Choosing between them" and "Other tools." The closing blockquote was updated to reference mid-2026 as the comparison baseline, and the "—" symbol was clarified as indicating an undocumented capability rather than a confirmed absence.
