Remove events system entirely

The random events (GPU shortages, regulatory hearings, PR crises, etc.)
added interruption without enough gameplay value. Removed all event
types, definitions (~1800 lines of event data), the event processor,
EventModal UI, store actions, and tick integration. Updated docs to
reflect the removal. Bundle size drops ~47kB.
