fix: Replace jQuery with fetch and vanilla DOM

Migrate project scripts away from jQuery: add onDocumentReady, fetchWithNoCache and fetchJson helpers; replace $.ajax and $(document).ready usages with fetch/Promise APIs and DOMContentLoaded handling; convert remove-widgetbot-crate to vanilla DOM. Also update _data/licenses.yml with renovate datasource comments and bump Chart.js and Marked versions, and remove the jQuery CDN reference from index.html.
