Full changelog

synthesize_class_header(name) -- new public helper (importable from
pyopenvba) that returns the standard eight-line attribute header for a
plain VBA class module, including the universal VB_Base CLSID. It is
now also emitted automatically by add_module(kind=VBAModuleKind.other)
when a bare body is supplied, matching the existing behaviour for standard
modules. Callers no longer need to construct or hard-code the CLSID
constant themselves.

README relative links were broken on PyPI. The links to LICENSE.md,
docs/roadmap.md, docs/architecture.md, and
docs/ms-ovba-implementation-guide_v2.md were relative paths that
resolved correctly on GitHub but 404'd on the PyPI project page. All
five occurrences are now absolute github.com/blob/main/... URLs.

Demo scripts (create_new_excel_with_class_demo.py,
create_new_with_class_demo.py, create_new_word_with_class_demo.py,
inject_xlsb_with_class_demo.py) updated to use the body-only
add_module call, removing the manual _CLASS_VB_BASE constant and
DATAMODEL_HEADER block.
README Architecture section updated to include synthesize_class_header
in the __init__.py public API listing.
