build: the submodule is how libavr arrives; the era already carries it

The pin the whole history now encodes becomes the primary route: the
submodule default replaces FetchContent and the unpinned forge fallback,
LIBAVR_ROOT stays as the tandem-development override, the presets already
take the toolchain file from the submodule, and the Studio projects anchor
their include path there — correct by construction. The version tags and
the one-command historical build are documented beside the version map.
