docs: align the README with the v3 submission state
The CI badge now points explicitly at main, the retracted CF8/CFC claim is attributed to v2 (the only revision ever posted), the next posting is v3, the DKMS version follows the VERSION file instead of a hardcoded 1.0.0, and the verification section catches up with the driver: Receive Byte and Send Byte exist, i2cdetect scans in read mode, the SPD EEPROMs are instantiated at probe and owned by ee1004, jc42 stays manual.
