docs: rework README release badges, drop star history, fix grpc flag (#8743)

* docs: show stable, latest and nightly version badges in README

The single release badge rendered whatever GitHub considered newest, so a
pre-release such as v1.2.0-beta.1 looked like the recommended version.

Split it into three self-updating badges using the shields.io `filter`
parameter, keyed off the existing tag naming:

- stable: `!*-*` matches tags without a hyphen (v1.1.4)
- latest: `!*-*-*` excludes nightly and dev builds (v1.2.0-beta.1)
- nightly: `*-nightly-*` matches the weekly build (v1.2.0-nightly-20260706)

No workflow changes are needed; the badges track new releases on their own.
A one-line caption below them says which channel to pick. The release-date
badge is dropped as the three version badges already carry that signal.

* docs: remove star history chart from README

The chart carried a sealed_token in three URLs and added a large
third-party image to the Project Status section without saying anything
the badges and case studies do not already cover.

* docs: use --grpc-bind-addr in README quickstart

--rpc-bind-addr is now only a hidden alias of --grpc-bind-addr and no
longer shows up in --help.
