feat(bf): clarify the one-year offer and drop the Bootcamp box on /odoo-black-friday/

Two user-requested changes on the Black Friday landing page. 1. The one-year framing is now unmissable where the price is stated: "$295 for your first year — then $395 a year after that." (was: "$395.00 a year — $295.00 for your first year"). The hero, meta description, og:description and the JSON-LD WebPage description all carry the same first-year-then-$395 wording. The offer itself is unchanged ($295 first year, $395 after, code HOST27, 16-30 Nov 2026). 2. The Bootcamp box is removed; the page is now a hosting-only offer surface. The meta/og, the JSON-LD Product entry and WebPage.about Thing were rewritten, the FAQ answer no longer claims the Bootcamp is part of the offer (HTML + JSON-LD, byte- identical), and the offer grid re-flows to one centred card (no empty cell). The removed box is archived, with line numbers, at webmaster/out/2026-11-02-bootcamp-box-removed-archive.md. The OG card was re-rendered hosting-only (sub line "your first year"); og:image:alt updated to match. Verified: verify-html.py exit 0; competitor QC on the page exit 0; impeccable detector 0 new findings (23 -> 21); JSON-LD valid, 1 Product, FAQ 6/6 byte-identical.
