Siggi (OpenClaw) 7f9761b915 docs: add distro comparison, recommend dumpling-wayland for Qt/glibc

Key updates:
- README: comprehensive distro comparison table (spaetzle vs dumpling-wayland)
- Recommend dumpling-wayland (glibc) for Qt/GUI applications
- spaetzle (musl) explicitly blocks Qt: SKIP_RECIPE[tq-image-qt6]
- Both distros are 2038-safe (glibc 2.39 and musl 1.2+ both use 64-bit time_t)
- Updated 2038 analysis to cover both C library options
- Updated license tables with both glibc and musl entries
- Fixed remaining config references (imx → mainline)
- Added image availability matrix per distro
- Corrected package versions to match Scarthgap 5.0.11
