kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 4.7 afdbd58540 chore(roles): normalize meta platforms + role README Credits, revert GenericLinux drift
* meta/main.yml: replace every prior platforms variant (Linux,
  GenericLinux, Any, Archlinux+rolling/all, distro-specific pins) with
  the canonical 5-distro list (ArchLinux, Debian, EL, Fedora, Ubuntu;
  versions: [all] each).
* lint: merge tests/lint/ansible/roles/test_meta_company_canonical.py
  into tests/lint/repository/test_role_meta_main_galaxy_schema.py and
  add a parallel canonical-platforms exact-value check; one file walk
  enforces both schema conformance and the two project canonical
  exact-values (company block-scalar + platforms 5-distro list).
* roles/<role>/README.md: strip emojis from H1/H2 headings (per
  readme_md.md role rule), normalize the Credits block to the canonical
  wording (Author/Authors/Author Information aliased; canonical block
  appended where absent).
* repo-wide: revert text-drift `GenericLinux` -> `Linux` in role
  description fields, README body prose, vars, j2 templates, and the
  Makefile (87 occurrences). The lint docstring keeps a single
  historical mention.
