This requires a new era (Conway -> Dijkstra), not an intra-era HF

- Simplify protocol_version from [major, minor] to just major
- Minor provides no value for compatibility checks
- Reduces header size by ~1-2 bytes
- Update abstract, specification, era transition sections
- Add rationale for minor removal

- Keep protocol_version in header (major used for compatibility checks)
- Remove protocol_minor completely (no value)
- Block body 6th element is just producer_agent bytestring (0..32 bytes)
- No longer a tuple, just: tstr .size (0..32) / nil
- Simplify all examples and remove protocol version references
- Update title to just 'Block Producer Identification'
- Preserve existing header structure and semantics
