Update `wg` docs for the merged py-multiaddr#108

it lands" framing in plan-03 and the example README was stale in
both directions: the branch pin is obsolete, yet you still can't
just `pip install multiaddr`.

Deats,
- §3.2's grammar table is now re-verified against the upstream
  merge (`f86519da`) rather than only `baudco@wg_support` in a
  throwaway venv. Also notes the codec enforces a 32-byte key,
  so a truncated one is a `StringParseError` and not a silently
  mangled parse.
- §1 says merged-but-unreleased; the still-open work is spec
  registration (py-multiaddr#107 + gh #483).
- §3.4 swaps "pin the branch" for the `[tool.uv.sources]` `rev`
  pin, and fixes the `_have_wg_maddr_proto()` recipe it
  suggested — probing w/ `Multiaddr('/wg/uAAAA')` now ALWAYS
  raises bc the codec wants 32B, i.e. that feature-detect would
  report `False` even w/ the proto perfectly well known.
- risk table row goes "#108 not merged" -> "merged but
  unreleased".
- example README: `uv sync` alone now suffices bc of the pin;
  documents the 32B check and points at
  `_have_wg_maddr_proto()` as the gate.

The one surviving `baudco` mention is deliberate, it records
where the grammar was *first* verified.

(this patch was generated in some part by `claude-code` using `claude-opus-5` (`anthropic`))

## requirements
The `wg` proto isn't in released `py-multiaddr` yet (`0.2.0` has
no `wg` codec), so until #108 lands:
py-multiaddr #108 is **merged** (2026-07-28) but ships in no
release yet — the latest `0.2.0` (2026-03-17) predates it and has
no `wg` codec. So `pyproject.toml` carries a temporary
`[tool.uv.sources]` `rev` pin at the merge commit, and a plain
```bash
uv pip install 'git+https://github.com/baudco/py-multiaddr.git@wg_support' multibase
uv sync
```
`wg_maddr.py` degrades to a plain segment split when the codec is
absent, so the examples still run — but you lose per-segment
validation. It deliberately does **not** hand-roll a `wg` codec
gets you a `wg`-aware `multiaddr`. That pin goes away once a
release carries the codec. You also need `multibase`:
```bash
uv pip install multibase
```
Without the codec `wg_maddr.py` degrades to a plain segment split
— the examples still run, but you lose per-segment validation
(incl. the 32-byte key-length check), so a malformed key reaches
the returned struct instead of raising. `_have_wg_maddr_proto()`
is the gate. It deliberately does **not** hand-roll a `wg` codec
(gh #429 was about *dropping* our NIH parser).
