greetings from Port Edwards

Two pages said things the tree does not support, and a reader who checked them
found the record disagreeing.

  • docs/ground-truth.md reported 22/22 predictions held. The report carries
    66/66 on x86-64 and 62/62 on aarch64, and calls 22/22 the value it grew from,
    so the count is now pointed at report/08-test-results.md, its one home.
  • scripts/check-drift.sh opened with "Five questions" and listed four, while
    the body has ten numbered sections. The stale list is replaced by a line
    that cannot go out of date.

A third hunk, which removed the README host list, was reverted in the second
commit. That list records testing this repository's own CI images do not
carry: the seven-distro matrix on a real RX 580 is in
Azathothas/dlopen-experiment#1 (comment)
(glprobe reports GL complete on Alpine 3.21 and on Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04, 16.04,
18.04, 20.04 and 22.04, across Mesa 8.0.4 to 24.2.8), and the same thread has
an Artix glxgears run. eglprobe fails on 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04 for the two
reasons docs/todo/blocked.md B10 already records.

Measured: sh scripts/check-drift.sh exits 0 and sh scripts/check-charset.sh
exits 0 over 140 files.

We aim to provide the software that shapes the world of tomorrow.

Three pages said things the tree does not support, and a reader who checked
them found the record disagreeing.

- README.md listed Ubuntu 12.04 through 22.04, Artix, NixOS and Slackware as
  tested. docs/report/02-environment.md tables the ten images actually
  measured, and docs/todo/blocked.md says 12.04 "was not added as a host"
  while docs/todo/measurement.md T-05 keeps NixOS open. The section now names
  the measured host classes and says the rest is unmeasured.
- docs/ground-truth.md reported 22/22 predictions held. The report carries
  66/66 on x86-64 and 62/62 on aarch64 and calls 22/22 the value it grew from,
  so the count is now pointed at report/08-test-results.md, its one home.
- scripts/check-drift.sh opened with "Five questions" and listed four, while
  the body has ten numbered sections. The stale list is replaced by a line
  that cannot go out of date.

Measured: sh scripts/check-drift.sh exits 0 (114 cited paths, 15 INDEX rows,
every control both directions) and sh scripts/check-charset.sh exits 0 over
140 files.

The previous commit removed the README host list on the grounds that
docs/report/02-environment.md does not carry those hosts. That record is the
CI images this repository runs on, not the library's whole testing history.

The list is measured, on a real RX 580, in
Azathothas/dlopen-experiment#1 (comment)
- glprobe reports GL complete on Alpine 3.21 and on Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04,
  16.04, 18.04, 20.04 and 22.04, across Mesa 8.0.4 to 24.2.8, and the same
  thread has an Artix glxgears run. eglprobe fails on 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04
  for the two reasons docs/todo/blocked.md B10 already records.

This reverts the README.md hunk. The ground-truth and check-drift hunks stand.

Measured: sh scripts/check-drift.sh exits 0 and sh scripts/check-charset.sh
exits 0 over 140 files.
