docs: live downloads badge + fix AGPL-3.0 license detection (#1168)

Two small README/packaging fixes.

1. Add a self-updating total-downloads badge next to the stars badge.
   shields.io re-queries the GitHub releases API on every page view, so the
   number (currently ~137k across 563 release assets) stays current without
   ever editing the README again.

2. Fix license detection. GitHub's API reported this repo as
   "Other" / NOASSERTION, which breaks the license UI and the corporate
   license scanners that gate adoption — the exact users the commercial
   license exception is for.

   The cause was packaging, not content: LICENSE carried a 53-line
   plain-language notice prepended above the AGPL text, which pushes the
   file below licensee's similarity threshold. The AGPL-3.0 body was
   already byte-identical to the canonical text at gnu.org.

   LICENSE is now the verbatim canonical AGPL-3.0 text and nothing else.
   The notice — including the commercial-license offer, the scope section,
   and the Apache-2.0 carve-out for the bundled omnivoice/ model — moves
   verbatim to LICENSE-NOTICE.md, linked from LICENSE and the README.
   No terms changed.

# OmniVoice Studio — License
## Abbreviation
AGPL-3.0-only
## Notice
Copyright 2024-present Palash Debnath and OmniVoice Studio contributors.
OmniVoice Studio is **free and open-source software, licensed under the GNU
Affero General Public License, Version 3 (AGPL-3.0)**. You are free to use,
copy, modify, and redistribute it — and that **includes commercial and internal
business use**: run the app, use its outputs commercially, sell the audio you
produce with it, provide professional/client services with it, and deploy it
within your organization.
Because this is the **Affero** GPL, one additional obligation applies: if you
modify OmniVoice Studio and make that modified version available to others over
a network, you must also offer those users the complete corresponding source
code of your modified version under these same AGPL-3.0 terms. See the full
text below.
A **commercial license is available** for organizations that want to embed
OmniVoice Studio in a closed-source or proprietary product or service without
the AGPL-3.0 copyleft obligations. Pricing tiers are coming soon; for inquiries
contact `OmniVoice@palash.dev`.
(This Notice is a plain-language summary; the binding terms are the full GNU
AGPL-3.0 text reproduced below.)
### Scope
These terms cover the OmniVoice Studio application — the Tauri desktop shell
(`frontend/src-tauri/`), the React frontend (`frontend/src/`), the FastAPI
backend (`backend/`), and supporting build / packaging scripts (`scripts/`,
`Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, `.github/`).
The bundled `omnivoice/` Python package — the underlying TTS model by Han Zhu —
is **separately licensed under Apache License 2.0** by its upstream authors and
is not relicensed here. Apache License 2.0 is compatible with, and may be
combined under, the GNU AGPL-3.0. See `pyproject.toml`.
Third-party dependencies retain their own licenses. See `Cargo.lock`,
`bun.lock`, and `uv.lock` for the resolved set.
### Reference
The full canonical text of the GNU Affero General Public License, Version 3
follows verbatim. The authoritative copy lives at
