Switch Pro packages to public distribution (#1901)

## Summary

This PR implements the switch from GitHub Packages to public
distribution for React on Rails Pro packages and gem.

### Changes

**1. Node Renderer NPM Package (`react_on_rails_pro/package.json`)**
- Removed `publishConfig` section to publish to npmjs.org instead of
GitHub Packages
- Updated repository URL to reflect monorepo location

**2. Release Script (`rakelib/release.rake`)**
- Updated node-renderer publishing logic (remove GitHub Packages
messaging, add npmjs.org OTP prompt)
- Updated Pro gem publishing: removed `--key github --host` arguments to
publish to RubyGems.org
- Updated documentation header to list all packages as PUBLIC
- Updated success message to reflect unified public distribution

**3. Documentation Updates**
- Removed all GitHub PAT authentication instructions
- Added license token security warning
- Updated all package name references to unscoped version
- Simplified installation flow

### Distribution Strategy

**Before:**
- Pro packages published to GitHub Packages (private)
- Customers need GitHub PAT + JWT license token
- Manual PAT generation by Justin for each customer

**After:**
- All packages published to public registries (npmjs.org + RubyGems.org)
- Customers only need JWT license token
- Runtime enforcement via JWT validation (unchanged)
- Frictionless installation with `gem install` and `npm install`

### Breaking Change

⚠️ Existing customers using GitHub Packages will need to update their
`.npmrc` configuration after this release. Justin will communicate
migration steps directly to customers.

### Security

Runtime enforcement remains completely unchanged:
- JWT license validation at Rails startup (Ruby side)
- JWT license validation at Node renderer startup (Node side)
- Grace period system still in place
- Attribution system still in place

### Testing Plan

- [ ] Dry run: `rake release[16.2.0,true]`
- [ ] Verdaccio test: `rake release[16.2.0-test.1,false,verdaccio]`
- [ ] Verify packages publish successfully to public registries
- [ ] Test installation without GitHub credentials
- [ ] Test runtime enforcement still works

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Chores**
* Publishing consolidated: packages now published publicly (npmjs.org &
RubyGems.org); private registry references removed, publication
messaging unified, and package names simplified to unscoped forms.
OTP/publish prompts and final release summaries updated.

* **Documentation**
* Install, release, and node-renderer docs revised for public publishing
and license-based runtime auth: simplified release commands, updated
install/import examples, startup/config guidance, and
error/tracing/integration instructions.
