feat: populate SCM files and add user-facing templates

.machine_readable/:
- STATE.scm: Full project state with v0.4 status, milestones, blockers
- ECOSYSTEM.scm: Position in licensing ecosystem, related projects
- META.scm: Architecture decisions (OCaml, Dutch law, bilingual)

templates/:
- STATE.scm.template: Template for users to track project state
- ECOSYSTEM.scm.template: Template for ecosystem positioning
- META.scm.template: Template for ADRs and practices
- README.adoc: Usage guide for templates
