Correct doc and help sentences that are false about the code (closes #233)

A blob is written whole to a temporary file and uploaded once finished,
not streamed to storage. The README, ARCHITECTURE.md and
config.example.yml now say a backup needs free temporary space for each
blob (twice that for an rclone destination that cannot stream uploads)
and for the metadata export's copies of the local index, in $TMPDIR, or
partly in /var/tmp when TMPDIR is unset. Also corrected: the snapshot ID
format, what restore reads and how incomplete snapshots are removed in
docs/DATAMODEL.md, what source_path holds, the index_path default, the
config search order in the snapshot create help, what snapshot remove
cleans up in the prune help, how the release installs Go, and the
script/release and script/fmt-check comments.

 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-10-07: Corrected documentation, help text and comments that were
+  false about the code
+  ([issue #233](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/233)). A blob
+  is not streamed to storage. The README, `ARCHITECTURE.md` and
+  `config.example.yml` now say a backup needs free temporary space,

+  writes copies of the local index. Temporary files go to `$TMPDIR`
+  (default `/tmp`); with `TMPDIR` unset, SQLite writes one of those

+  what `source_path` holds, the `index_path` and config file defaults,
+  what `snapshot remove` cleans up, how the release gets its Go
+  toolchain, and the `script/release` and `script/fmt-check` comments.
+
+- 2026-10-07: Cut the time the `internal/vaultik` and `internal/database`
+  tests take ([issue #235](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/235)).
+  Most of the `internal/vaultik` time went to 24 tests that ran one at a
+  time only because they call `log.Initialize`; they now call it before
+  `t.Parallel()`, as the package's other tests do. `TestLargeDatasets`
+  committed each of its 1,500 inserts on its own and now makes them in
+  one transaction. `TestDedupOnlySnapshotRestores` gives its second
+  backup its own snapshot name instead of sleeping past the one-second
+  timestamp in the snapshot ID.
+
+- 2026-10-07: Made two messages say only what is true
+  ([issue #240](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/240)). A config
+  file that others can read was warned about as containing S3
+  credentials even when it set none, as a `file://` config does. The
+  warning now says the file may contain S3 credentials only when
+  `s3.access_key_id` or `s3.secret_access_key` is set, since either may
+  come from a `${...}` reference rather than the file, and otherwise
+  says the file is readable by others. `snapshot purge` against a
+  destination store it could not list gave an error with
+  `listing remote snapshots:` in it twice; the prefix now appears once.
+
+- 2026-10-07: Made `s3.part_size` set the multipart upload part size
+  ([issue #232](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/232)). It was
+  loaded and defaulted but never passed to the S3 client, whose uploader
+  used a fixed 10MiB part. It now reaches the uploader for `storage_url`
+  and for the `s3.*` fields, and a part size S3 refuses, below 5MiB or
+  above 5GiB, `0` included, fails at config load. A blob too large for
+  S3's limit of 10,000 parts at the configured size is uploaded in larger
+  parts. The docs gave the default as `5MB`, which the config file reads
+  as 5,000,000 bytes, below the minimum; they now say `5MiB`.
+
+- 2026-10-07: Made per-name retention work when the hostname contains `_`
+  ([issue #230](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/230)). A
+  snapshot ID is `hostname_name_timestamp`, and the name was read as
+  everything between the first and the last `_`, so with
+  `hostname: my_host` the name `home` came out as `host_home`.
+  `snapshot purge --keep-latest --snapshot home` then printed "No
+  snapshots to delete", and `snapshot create --prune` purged nothing
+  without a message. The name is now read using the hostname the
+  `snapshots` table stores with each snapshot, cut at its first `.` as it
+  is in the ID.
