docs(reviewer): anonymise reviewer references; profile-based framing

Replaces the "Springborn / Bobenko alumnus" placeholder in the reviewer
materials (briefing, questions, agenda, README) and in
locked-vs-flexible.md with a research-profile description:

  active researcher in the decorated-DCE / Penner-coordinates /
  canonical-tessellations / hyperideal-polyhedra line, treated as a
  peer most likely to USE conformallab++ as numerical infrastructure
  for their own future experiments — not merely to evaluate it.

Citations to the published literature (Springborn 2020 paper, etc.)
remain untouched.  Only personal references to the prospective
reviewer were anonymised.

# Reviewer meeting materials
A single landing page for the three documents associated with the
external-reviewer meeting (Springborn/Bobenko alumnus, May 2026).
A single landing page for the three documents associated with an
external-reviewer meeting. The materials are written for a peer who
actively publishes in discrete differential geometry — specifically
the decorated-DCE / Penner-coordinates / hyperideal-polyhedra /
canonical-tessellations research line — and who would potentially
use conformallab++ as numerical infrastructure for their own future
experiments.
