policy: Bun is tier 1, Deno is being removed (#62)

Bun becomes the tier 1 JS runtime and package manager; Deno is removed rather
than grandfathered, per the owner ruling of 2026-08-26.

Two static-analysis findings were addressed before merge:
  - ReScript was absent from the BANNED table although canon bans it
    (destination AffineScript), so the table read as permitting it.
  - Enforcement Rule 3 said `bun install --production` with no
    `--frozen-lockfile`, so a lockfile mismatch silently re-resolved instead of
    failing, defeating the point of committing bun.lock.

Enforcement Rule 1 is deliberately untouched: standards#655 records that
collision as not resolvable unilaterally.

Verified before merge: the failing checks on these PRs are repo-specific CI
(cargo/clippy, shell lint, K9 contract and A2ML manifest validators, build) that
a Markdown policy file cannot reach, and they fail on main independently.
