Fix attribution, dead references, and rebuild state citation table

- Attribution: README and LICENSE now credit rpriven (was a
  non-entity leftover from the original template's origin)
- Remove README section for foia_req_raw.md, which is not in the repo
- Fix lookup-state-law.ts pointer to generate-flock-request.ts
- Rebuild template state reference: all 20 supported states with law
  names and statute citations, corrected deadline groupings (CA, MD),
  dropped unsupported states, added fallback for unlisted states
- Update Last Updated to July 2026
