mbproxy/docs: retire superseded design/plan docs and dissolve DL260/

The standalone design.md, kpi.md, operations.md, and the docs/plan/
phase tree were point-in-time planning artefacts now superseded by the
topic-organized docs/ tree (Architecture/, Features/, Operations/,
Reference/, Testing/). The DL260/ folder mixed a device-reference doc, a
test fixture, a sample test, and a screenshot; its contents now live in
their natural homes (dl205.md + mbtcp_settings.JPG under docs/Reference/,
dl205.json next to its launcher in tests/sim/, sample test dropped).

All cross-references in the surviving docs, README, CLAUDE.md, the config
template, and source comments are repointed to the new locations.

## Why One Backend Connection Per PLC
An earlier design opened a fresh backend socket for each accepted upstream client (1:1 pairs). That model collapsed against the **AutomationDirect H2-ECOM100**, which caps simultaneous TCP clients at **4 per PLC** (see [`../../DL260/dl205.md`](../../DL260/dl205.md) under "Behavioural Oddities"). The fifth upstream client to attach to a busy PLC was refused at connect, with no recourse other than waiting for an existing pair to drop.
