docs: range-read M4 (openUrl in the browser): changelog, limits, design status

CHANGELOG (Unreleased), known-issues (the browser can open URLs; the
limits of openUrl: round trips per wave of misses, a call holds what it
reads, CORS and validator visibility, the download fallback), the M4
status in docs/design/range-reads.md (why NeedBytes rather than a
Worker, why not clawhdf5-remote's BlockCache, what was tested; the
status paragraph at the top lost a garbled duplicate), the viewer's
README (API, options, how it works, tests; the size table is marked as
predating openUrl), CLAUDE.md and the README crate list.

`examples/wasm-viewer/test/run.sh` builds the package (needs the
