docs(chat): adopt existing SilverVPN.Client.Chat as SilverChat — promote to v1

Inspection of ../SilverVPN/clients/SilverVPN.Client.Chat reveals a mature,
production-grade SilverChat implementation:

- Cross-platform MAUI client (Windows / macOS / Android / iOS)
- 13 ViewModels + 13 Views — feature-complete UX (contacts, conversations,
  group chat, invites, safety numbers, settings, login)
- Signal Protocol crypto: Double Ratchet, X3DH (PreKey + Identity stores),
  Safety Numbers, encrypted attachments
- VpnChatTransport — chat carried over the SilverVPN tunnel itself,
  eliminating third-party metadata exposure
- Server-side already in SilverVPN.Api: ChatHub (SignalR), ChatController,
  ChatAttachmentController, ContactsController
- Windows MSI installer wired (installer/silverchat/SilverChat.wxs)

Decision: adopt-as-is, do not duplicate. SilverChat is more advanced than
the v1.1 plan (which considered Matrix / Signal-fork) — three wins:
1. Signal Protocol natively, not a tentative fork
2. Chat over the VPN tunnel — better metadata hygiene
3. Cross-platform on day one

Changes:
- stack/chat/README.md rewritten as integration pointer (mirror of stack/vpn/)
- stack/README.md status table updated; SilverChat promoted v1.1 → v1
- docs/roadmap.md: new milestone 1.9 (Chat integration into Linux v1);
  Phase 1.1 alignment-review milestone removed (resolved by this finding);
  remaining 1.1 milestones renumbered
- root README.md: Stack table + Status table updated
