docs(audit): drivers/README.md — capability matrix + link fixes

Browse Source 
CODE-REALITY (matrix corrected against driver class declarations):
- Galaxy: GalaxyDriver.cs:38-39 implements IDriver, ITagDiscovery,
  IReadable, IWritable, ISubscribable, IRediscoverable,
  IHostConnectivityProbe, IAlarmSource. Removed the bogus
  IHistoryProvider (no IHistoryProvider refs anywhere in the Galaxy
  project); added the missing IRediscoverable. Replaced the stale
  out-of-process Host/Proxy/named-pipe quirk + the dead
  `Driver.Galaxy.{Shared,Host,Proxy}` path: per CLAUDE.md PR 7.2 those
  retired; the real driver is in-process .NET 10 over gRPC to the
  external mxaccessgw gateway (GalaxyDriver.cs:20-21 doc comment).
  Project path corrected to Driver.Galaxy (+ .Browser, .Contracts).
- Modbus: ModbusDriver.cs:21-22 — added missing IPerCallHostResolver.
- FOCAS: FocasDriver.cs:20-21 — added missing IWritable (it IS
  implemented; WriteAsync returns BadNotWritable for every point,
  FocasDriver.cs:317).
- S7 (S7Driver.cs:31-32), AbCip (AbCipDriver.cs:27-28),
  AbLegacy (AbLegacyDriver.cs:13-14, no IAlarmSource confirmed),
  TwinCAT (TwinCATDriver.cs:13-14), OpcUaClient
  (OpcUaClientDriver.cs:31) verified — already correct.
- Added the 9th family Historian.Wonderware as a server-side historian
  sink (HistorianDataSource.cs:19 `: IHistorianDataSource`), and added
  IHistorianDataSource to the capability-interface list.
- Clarified OpcUaClient as the only driver-side IHistoryProvider; fixed
  the HistoricalDataAccess cross-ref accordingly (the Aveva Historian
  path is the Wonderware IHistorianDataSource sink, not a Galaxy
  IHistoryProvider).
- Added an alarm-source roster to the AlarmTracking cross-ref.

STRUCTURAL (4 dead links repointed to the docs/v1 archive, all verified
to exist):
- ../HistoricalDataAccess.md -> ../v1/HistoricalDataAccess.md (x2)
- ../Subscriptions.md -> ../v1/Subscriptions.md
- Galaxy-Repository.md -> ../v1/drivers/Galaxy-Repository.md
- Galaxy-Test-Fixture.md -> ../v1/drivers/Galaxy-Test-Fixture.md
check_links.py now reports zero rows for docs/drivers/README.md.

STALE-STATUS: removed out-of-process/named-pipe Galaxy wording; noted
native MxAccess alarms work end-to-end; dropped the FOCAS "Tier-C
two-project deployment" phrasing from the per-driver section.

Each driver opts into only the capabilities it supports. Every async capability call at the Server dispatch layer goes through `CapabilityInvoker` (`Core/Resilience/CapabilityInvoker.cs`), which wraps it in a Polly pipeline keyed on `(DriverInstanceId, HostName, DriverCapability)`. The `OTOPCUA0001` analyzer enforces the wrap at build time. Drivers themselves never depend on Polly; they just implement the capability interface and let the Core wrap it.
