Subject: scripts: add browse-project.py - read-only TUI project browser

- docs reader with rendered Markdown and a built-in Mermaid renderer
  (flowchart TB/LR with subgraphs, stateDiagram-v2, sequenceDiagram)
- syntax-highlighted code viewer with per-file added-line highlighting
- foldable file tree; search via git grep
- history: browse docs/code at any commit or branch without checkout
- architecture explorer: zoom whole system -> module -> components, with
  calls-into and source-file jump
- strictly read-only; non-interactive modes (--render/--diagrams/--tree/--log)

+browse-project.py -- read-only TUI browser for the Open-IOV tree.
+
+Browse docs (rendered Markdown + Mermaid diagrams), code (syntax highlighted),
+the file tree, the project history (any commit/branch, without checkout) and an
+interactive architecture explorer.  Reads only: nothing is ever written outside
+of this process, no git checkout, no file modification.
+
+Run from the repository root:
+
+    ./scripts/browse-project.py
+
+Non-interactive helpers (useful in a pipe / CI / quick look):
+
+    ./scripts/browse-project.py --tree [REV]
+    ./scripts/browse-project.py --render docs/README.md [--rev REV] [--no-color]
+    ./scripts/browse-project.py --diagrams docs/03-architecture/09-full-system-picture.md
+    ./scripts/browse-project.py --log [N]
+    ./scripts/browse-project.py --version
