fix(placeholder): rename SVG to bust Cloudflare cache

The new A-monogram placeholder shipped in d8ca8ff was correct in the
deployed container, but Cloudflare was serving the previous cached SVG
(cf-cache-status: HIT, last-modified from this morning) because the
account token doesn't carry Zone:Cache Purge scope, so we couldn't
issue an API purge.

Renaming the file to article-placeholder-v2.svg gives CF a fresh URL
to cache, sidestepping the missing-permission entirely. Updated all
6 referencing files (AppImage fallback, legacy-source FALLBACK_IMAGE
constants, FeaturedBento[FromDb], manufacturers/authors pages).

Old file (cached as the old wordmark) just becomes a dangling asset —
not referenced from anywhere, harmless.
