Enhance z3ed Documentation and CLI Design
- Updated E6-z3ed-cli-design.md to reflect the current state and design goals of the z3ed CLI, emphasizing its evolution into a powerful tool for ROM hacking with AI integration. - Introduced E6-z3ed-reference.md as a comprehensive technical reference, detailing command usage, implementation guides, and troubleshooting tips. - Expanded README.md to provide a clearer overview of z3ed, including documentation structure and quick start guides for users. - Enhanced the archive README.md to clarify the purpose of archived documents and their relevance to the project's history and technical decisions.
