fix(review): close all 2026-06-03 codebase-review findings (R1-R18)

Resolves the 18 findings from the parallel codebase review, tracked in
development/vimwiki-gap.md.

Correctness / perf:
- Wiki.config -> Arc<WikiConfig> so cloning a Wiki is a refcount bump (R5)
- WorkspaceIndex::remove is no longer O(n^2): a per-source contributions
  map limits the scan to buckets the source actually wrote into (R6)
- render_color now expands color_tag_template (__STYLE__/__CONTENT__),
  consuming the previously-dead field; ColorNode documented as an
  extension point; 3 renderer tests added (R3/R4)
- wiki_root_for returns empty/nil on no-match instead of falling back to
  the first wiki (R2); auto_header honours links_space_char (R7)

Cleanup / dedup:
- Remove dead #[allow(dead_code)] stubs + uncalled pub helpers, narrow
  imports (R10/R11)
- Dedup span_of_inline x3 -> InlineNode::span() (R12)
- diary_step single read lock; page_captions single pass (R13)
- Lua auto_header loop -> wiki_list(); detect_current_symbol cleanup
  (R14/R18)

Client / docs:
- :VimwikiNormalizeLink Vim cmds -> <q-args> (R17); ftplugin header fix
  (R16); vars.vim multi-wiki limitation documented (R15)
- Document 19 config options in README.md + doc/nuwiki.txt; fix
  list_margin/shiftwidth doc and stale comments (R1/R9)
- R8 investigated, confirmed not a real bug (documented)

Verified: Neovim harness 307, Vim harness 301/18/21, Rust suite 568, all
0 failed; clippy clean; fresh parallel-agent audit found no regressions.
