README differences + flashing sections; universal release script

- README: add 'What's different from OpenGD77' (incl. the new SK2 mute) and a
  dedicated 'Flashing' section (DFU steps, per-model flash.sh, donor note).
- scripts/forgejo-release.sh: build/attach a single platform or all, reuse an
  existing release, replace same-named assets, and warn if freetrxVersion.h
  doesn't match the tag.
- TOOLS.md: document the platform build argument.

+## What's different from OpenGD77

+FreeTRX keeps OpenGD77's core (DMR/FM, hotspot, CPS compatibility) and adds:
+
+- **Audio mute — new SK2 short-tap.** A short tap of **SK2** on the VFO/Channel
+  screen toggles the speaker mute on and off. Turning the **volume knob fully
+  down** counts as muted too. While muted, a bold **"M"** appears in the status
+  bar (left of the battery) and the **red LED flashes** (0.5 s every 2 s). SK2's
+  existing roles are unchanged: held as a modifier, extra-long-press for
+  monitor/squelch-off, and — while a DMR QSO is on screen — a tap still sets the
+  TX talkgroup to the incoming one.
+- **Segmented block S-meter** with one block per S-level (S1–S9 green, S9+ red)
+  and a scale label row (S1 S3 S5 S7 S9 / +20 +40 +60).
+- **7-segment "LED" frequency font** with faintly-lit inactive segments, on the
+  VFO and the SK1-held frequency view.
+- **Screen dimming** — optionally dim the backlight to 100 / 50 / 30 % after
+  inactivity (Auto backlight mode); new setting in Display Options.
+- **Main-menu icons** next to each top-level entry.
+- **DMR reliability fix** — resolves a hard-fault (freeze needing a battery pull)
+  on the DMR path that affected recent self-built OpenGD77 revisions.
