Niels Lohmann 88ab2d56f5 docs: update the README for the release (#6051)
* docs: update the README for the release

- Show the animated SVG feature slideshow (light and dark variant) instead
  of json.gif.
- Thank 20 further contributors and extend two existing entries.
- Fix the bad_serializer example (invalid template header, second function
  named to_json instead of from_json, missing template keyword).
- Add "Zero-copy views" to the table of contents, link ordered_json to its
  API page, and point the speed design goal to the performance page.

* chore: remove the stale ChangeLog.md and docs/json.gif

ChangeLog.md was last generated in January 2025 and still ends at
"unreleased (2024-12-22)"; 3.12.0 shipped without an entry. The release
notes live on the GitHub releases page and in docs/mkdocs/docs/home/releases/.
Remove the file, the Makefile target that called github_changelog_generator,
and the README credit for that tool.

docs/json.gif is an old copy of the feature slideshow that nothing
references; the home page uses the SVGs built by docs/mkdocs/scripts/slideshow/.

* chore: remove the unreferenced docs/mkdocs/docs/images/json.gif

The README header and the home page use the SVG slideshow built by
docs/mkdocs/scripts/slideshow/.
