Pull request overview
This PR reorganizes the Git-Auto-Release documentation to create a clearer separation between initial setup and daily usage workflows. The changes focus on reducing content duplication, improving navigation, and making it easier for users to find the right documentation for their needs.
Key Changes:

- Updated QUICK_REFERENCE.md to emphasize daily usage for established projects (removing setup instructions)
- Expanded SETUP_GUIDE.md with detailed configuration options and platform-specific instructions
- Reorganized SUMMARY.md to present documentation in a logical "Getting Started → Daily Usage → Customization" flow
- Added LICENSE file to the template documentation directory for clarity

- Merged SUMMARY.md into REFERENCE_GUIDE.md for comprehensive single reference - Renamed QUICK_REFERENCE.md to REFERENCE_GUIDE.md to reflect comprehensive content - Updated all cross-references across documentation files - Clarified major beta release (X.0.0-beta) vs regular beta tags distinction - Added detailed FAQ about handling breaking changes during major beta - Updated PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md to reflect actual current file structure - Removed duplicate commit message documentation from QUICKSTART and BRANCH_STRATEGY - Added LICENSE file to docs/git-auto-release/ - Consolidated documentation for single source of truth Key clarification: .N increments only apply during major beta releases (VERSION = X.0.0-beta). Regular feature/bugfix merges continue to create normal beta version tags (e.g., v0.2.0-beta, v0.1.1-beta).
