docs: 2026-11-12 status refresh - green X/GLX, non-black GPU captures, direct-GL stream frontier
Refresh STATE-CURRENT.md and the open-iov.org wiki pages with the 2026-11-12 state: stock-driver X + GLX green (glxinfo 4.6.0 direct rendering, glxgears ~520 FPS), the pbuffer frame path captured 500/500 non-black frames (50 s 640x480 h264) plus the earlier 45.4 s capture, and the named frontier (direct-GL client command-stream delivery: setup push unreadable, CE ring 0xbeef0101 intermittent) alongside the guest-init/sizing fixes (RMInstLoc modprobe single-source, FB info in KB, 256 MiB GART).
