av: clone broadcastbeat sources + AV Beat rebrand (Phase 1)

- Replaces the prior Rocket scaffold (saved on pre-bb-clone-rollback branch)
- Domain: broadcastbeat.com -> avbeat.com
- Brand: Broadcast Beat -> AV Beat
- Slug: broadcastbeat -> avbeat (package, identifiers)
- Schema fallback: bb -> av (env var name unchanged)
- Placeholder AV BEAT logo (gold->red gradient) at /assets/logos/av.svg
- All BB/RMP logo references repointed

Outstanding before public DNS swap:
  - Supabase av schema bootstrap (mirror of bb tables)
  - WordPress archive import (avbeat-com -> av.articles)
  - Coolify env vars
  - dev-avbeat.onsethost.com staging deploy + visual review

+            <p className="text-white/55 text-sm leading-relaxed mb-3">
+              We made the call to step away from on-camera coverage and rebuild AV Beat as a written publication —
+              deeper reporting, more original analysis, fewer canned booth tours. Most of our peers in the trade press
+              are doing the opposite. We think the readers (and the industry) are better served this way.
