README: license and author up front; bring TODO.md up to date (closes #38)

Brings README.md and TODO.md in line with REPO_POLICIES.md and with what is on next. The README's first line now names routewatch, what it is, its MIT licence and its author, @sneak; the License section says MIT and links LICENSE; a new Author section names @sneak.

TODO.md's Status, Next Step and Future Steps now describe next as it is: it waits for sneak to merge the milestone PR, after which the upaas deploy and the run under a real 5 GiB limit are his. Completed Steps gains a line for each issue that landed without one.

Docs only. make fmt formats only Go here, so the markdown was wrapped by hand.

 # RouteWatch
 
-RouteWatch is a real-time BGP routing table monitor that streams BGP UPDATE messages from the RIPE RIS Live service, maintains a live routing table in SQLite, and provides HTTP APIs for querying routing information.

 # Status

+pre-1.0. No git tags. The Docker build runs the format check, the linter
-the policy compliance branch (repo-policies-compliance, make check
+and the tests, and the Gitea workflow runs that build on every push. The
-passing, clean tree) is unmerged to main and the CI workflow is missing.
+image sets memory ceilings for a 5 GiB container (README "Memory") and the
+README says how to run it under upaas (README "Running under upaas"). A
+35-hour run of `3898daa` on the live feed peaked at about 1 GiB, without a
+container memory limit.
 
 # Next Step
 
-Merge repo-policies-compliance into main (3 commits: policy files and
+`next` waits for sneak to merge it to `main` through
-.gitignore, Makefile targets fmt-check/check/docker/hooks, gofmt pass),
+https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/pulls/6. After that, setting
