Subject: [PATCH] Fix README limit claims to match reality (issue #13)

- 'No file limit' -> 100 MB default, configurable via max_upload_bytes
- 'No character limit' -> 'No 4,096-character limit like Telegram'
  (hard frame-body cap: 1 MiB)
- Note that limits are set on the gateway side (hermes), not in the app
- Sync docs/playstore-listing.md (same overclaim)
