71339307fa Doc refresh (task #203) — driver docs split + drivers index + IHistoryProvider-aware HistoricalDataAccess
Restructure the driver-facing docs to match the OtOpcUa v2 multi-driver
reality (Galaxy, Modbus, S7, AB CIP, AB Legacy, TwinCAT, FOCAS, OPC UA Client
— 8 drivers total; Galaxy ships as three projects) and the capability-interface
architecture where every driver opts into IDriver + whichever of IReadable /
IWritable / ITagDiscovery / ISubscribable / IHostConnectivityProbe /
IPerCallHostResolver / IAlarmSource / IHistoryProvider / IRediscoverable it
supports. Doc scope follows the code: one-driver-specific docs scoped to that
driver, cross-driver concerns live once at the top level, per-driver specs
cross-link to docs/v2/driver-specs.md rather than duplicate.

What changed per file:

- docs/MxAccessBridge.md -> docs/drivers/Galaxy.md (git mv + rewrite): retitled
  "Galaxy Driver", reframed as one of seven drivers. Added Project Split table
  (Shared .NET Standard 2.0 / Host .NET 4.8 x86 / Proxy .NET 10) and Why
  Out-of-Process section citing both the MXAccess bitness constraint and Tier C
  stability isolation per docs/v2/plan.md section 4. Added IPC Transport
  section covering pipe naming, MessagePack framing, DACL that denies Admins,
  shared-secret handshake, heartbeat, and CallAsync<TReq,TResp> dispatch.
  Moved file paths from src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host/MxAccess/* to
  src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Galaxy.Host/Backend/MxAccess/* and added the
  Shared + Proxy key-file tables. Added CapabilityInvoker + OTOPCUA0001
  analyzer callout. Cross-linked to drivers/README.md, Galaxy-Repository.md,
  HistoricalDataAccess.md.

- docs/GalaxyRepository.md -> docs/drivers/Galaxy-Repository.md (git mv +
  rewrite): retitled "Galaxy Repository — Tag Discovery for the Galaxy
  Driver", opened with a comparison table showing how every driver's
  ITagDiscovery source is different (AB CIP @tags walker, TwinCAT
  SymbolLoaderFactory, FOCAS CNC queries, OPC UA Client Session.Browse, etc).
  Repositioned GalaxyRepositoryService as the Galaxy driver's
  ITagDiscovery.DiscoverAsync implementation. Updated paths to
  Driver.Galaxy.Host/Backend/GalaxyRepository/*. Added IRediscoverable section
  covering the on-change-redeploy IPC path.

- docs/drivers/README.md (new): index with ground-truth driver table —
  project path, stability tier, wire library, capability-interface list, and
  one notable quirk per driver. Verified against the driver csproj files and
  class declarations on focas-pr3-remaining-capabilities (the most recent
  branch containing every driver). Galaxy gets its own dedicated docs; the
  other seven drivers cross-link to docs/v2/driver-specs.md. Lists the full
  Core.Abstractions capability surface, DriverTypeRegistry, CapabilityInvoker,
  and OTOPCUA0001 analyzer.

- docs/HistoricalDataAccess.md (rewrite): reframed around IHistoryProvider as
  a per-driver optional capability interface. Replaced v1 HistorianPluginLoader
  / AvevaHistorianPluginEntry plugin architecture with the v2 story —
  Historian.Aveva was merged into Driver.Galaxy.Host/Backend/Historian/ and
  IPC-forwarded through GalaxyProxyDriver. Documented all four IHistoryProvider
  methods (ReadRawAsync / ReadProcessedAsync / ReadAtTimeAsync /
  ReadEventsAsync), CapabilityInvoker wrapping with DriverCapability.HistoryRead,
  and the per-driver coverage matrix (Galaxy + OPC UA Client implement; the
  six protocol drivers don't and return BadHistoryOperationUnsupported). Kept
  the cluster-failover + health-counter + quality-mapping detail for the
  Galaxy Historian implementation. Flagged one gap: Proxy forwards all four
  history message kinds but the Host-side HistoryAggregateType -> AnalogSummary
  column mapping may surface GalaxyIpcException{Code="not-implemented"} on a
  given branch until the Phase 2 Galaxy out-of-process gate lands.

Driver list built against ground truth (src on focas-pr3-remaining-capabilities):
  Driver.Galaxy.{Shared,Host,Proxy}, Driver.Modbus, Driver.S7, Driver.AbCip,
  Driver.AbLegacy, Driver.TwinCAT, Driver.FOCAS, Driver.OpcUaClient.
Capability interface lists verified against each *Driver.cs class declaration.
Aveva Historian ported to Driver.Galaxy.Host/Backend/Historian/; no separate
Historian.Aveva assembly on v2 branches.
