docs(adr): reframe ADR-003 as display medium decision

The old ADR documented the specific panel choice (GDEY0579T93 + DESPI-c579)
as if it were a freshly weighed option, but the hardware was already on
hand — the real architectural decision was choosing the medium (e-ink over
FSTN graphical / Sharp Memory LCD / OLED-TFT). Rewrite the ADR around the
medium with the panel as instantiation, note the Freewrite Alpha (2023)
data point as honest expectation-setting, and propagate the anchor /
narrative changes through qfd.md, v0.1-mvp-product.md, and README.md.

**Why the 5.79" strip aspect:** less screen than a 7.5" page-shaped panel,
but the long-narrow shape biases toward "current line + recent context"
the writing posture we actually want. The smaller framebuffer is cheap on
RAM, and SPI panels keep the GPIO budget open for SD + future peripherals.
A larger panel (10.3" via IT8951) stays on the table for v1.x once UX is
proven.
**Why the strip aspect:** the ~2.9:1 long-narrow shape biases the UX
toward "current line + recent context" rather than "full page" — the
writing posture we want. The renderer stays resolution-agnostic so a
10.3" e-ink upgrade (v1.x) is a swap, not a rewrite. Medium choice
(e-ink over LCD / memory LCD / OLED) and panel rationale:
