Alpamys aa347222a6 docs: close the v0.71.35 checklist gaps (index row, toolchain, stale counts)
Docs-only — no src/ changes, so no version bump (per the CI-only/docs-only rule).

Audit of the v0.71.35 release against the checklist found four misses:

* README's docs/ index table was missing the docs/compliance.md row — a new
  topic page unreachable from the front door (step 9: "if the release adds a
  whole new topic area, add/adjust the row in the README's docs/ index table").
  It was only added to docs/README.md.
* The GGUF toolchain was never documented, despite the slot's own plan calling
  it out ("Risk: MSVC build variance — document the exact toolchain; keep the
  llama.cpp tag pinned"). Added the exact, verified build commands + the
  VS2022 component actually required, the single- vs multi-config binary
  layouts, and an explicit warning never to install llama.cpp's
  requirements.txt (it pins torch~=2.2.1 CPU and downgrades a CUDA torch —
  the bug fixed in v0.71.35).
* docs/peft-and-efficiency.md still said "16 built-in templates" — stale as a
  direct result of the 4 compliance templates (now 21).
* Stale counts CONTRIBUTING "Test Files (307 files)" -> 313 and "existing 15
  templates" -> 21 (that step also still pointed at schema.py rather than the
  templates/ YAML + manifest.json registry).

The documented build command and binary path are the ones actually executed
during the release validation, not idealised.
