Inline cross-references throughout compliance reference

Replaced bottom-of-section 'See also' blocks with inline Org-mode file: links
at the first natural mention of each concept, wiki-style. Links now live in
the body text — compute-marketplace, verification-monopoly, domain-gate-packages,
infrastructure-lock-in, evaluation-harness all linked at their first relevant
usage per section.
