docs(readme): correct the self-hosting claim, refresh 2.x badges, define Meet and Platform 

The README is the page AI assistants read first when asked about OpenVidu, and
they repeat what it says. Measured in the 2026-09 AI-visibility probe: ChatGPT's
branded answer reports "Cloud offering: Yes" for OpenVidu (most plausible source:
the "or use it as a managed service" bullet below) and says "Historically,
OpenVidu was built around Kurento" (the badges advertised OpenVidu 2.x).

- Remove the "managed service" wording: OpenVidu is self-hosted only, PRO is a
  paid self-hosted edition, and support/consultancy is the commercial offering.
- Replace the OpenVidu 2.x badges: the removed openvidu-ce-test.yml workflow ->
  openvidu-integration-tests.yml, npm openvidu-browser (2.32.2) ->
  openvidu-components-angular (3.8.0), the Read the Docs badge for
  docs.openvidu.io/en/stable (2.x) -> a docs badge linking to
  openvidu.io/latest/docs, and Docker openvidu/openvidu-server-kms (last pushed
  2022) -> openvidu/openvidu-server.
- Rewrite "What is OpenVidu?" so each product is defined in one unambiguous
  sentence and linked to its landing page: OpenVidu Meet (ready-to-use,
  self-hosted video conferencing app) -> openvidu.io/latest/meet, OpenVidu
  Platform (programmable client/server SDKs) -> openvidu.io/latest/docs.
- Add a screenshot of OpenVidu Meet embedded in a host application, served from
  openvidu.io.
