docs(P3): marp deck + talking points + README + theme CSS + tests (REQ-245,251,252)

Marp deck (nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md): synthesize from updated
source-of-truth; 18 main + 1 appendix slides; frontmatter — title 'Nova —
The Autonomous Cloud Delivery Platform', footer without version + without
'Act %{page}/5', title-slide subtitle 'Product Development & Citizen
Developer Overview'; no badges; embedded PNGs.

Talking points (nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-talking-points.md):
re-distilled to 18-slide + A1 structure.

README.md: update deck title, audience, slide count (18 main + 1 appendix),
directory layout, remove badge docs, update deck table + render commands +
filenames. Document the v1.21 rename + restructure.

Theme CSS (nova-sp-theme.css): fix Appendix A1 table readability — tables
now have explicit white body + black text on any slide background
(including dark/title slides). Item 32.

Tests (test_slides_pipeline.py): add v1.21 assertions — no badges; no
version in footer/title slide; 18 main + 1 appendix slides; no D-###/REQ-
###/.py paths in audience-facing Marp deck or source slide body; old deck
files removed; render script default renamed; README references new deck
name. Update deck path in test_regression_cap023_024.py +
core/regression_verify.py CAP-024 (filename + 18-19 slide range, drop 'Arc
Preview' check per item 3).

attach_release_asset.py: usage example filename updated.
