Fork rebrand to MikeNL with internal terms and privacy placeholder pages

Jeroen1991z renames all user-facing product references from "Mike" to "MikeNL" and replaces the upstream mikeoss.com legal links with internal placeholder pages, establishing the fork as a distinct deployable product.

The rename covers every user-visible surface: sidebar brand, browser tab title, site logo, error page, backend startup log, both system prompts, DOCX author default for tracked changes, column-prompt placeholders, and the account models page description. Internal type names (MikeMessage, MikeProject) and filenames are left alone - the right call, since changing those would touch DB columns and break imports.

Two placeholder pages are added at /terms and /privacy. Both show an amber "currently being drafted" notice. The signup page previously linked to https://mikeoss.com/terms and https://mikeoss.com/privacy - the upstream project's domain. That's not a viable situation for a fork operating under its own brand and serving Dutch users under GDPR. The placeholders reference GDPR compliance and promise full policies "in due course."

The README is updated to credit willchen96/mike as the foundation and Jamie Tso's redline fork as the source for tracked-changes support.

So what Skip unless you're running a public-facing fork under your own name. The 12-file list in commit 88706938 is a useful checklist of every hardcoded product name in the codebase, which has value even if you don't take the commit itself.
