chore(node): finish Phase 3 — CLI deprecations, Windows shapes, docs

`member upload` reached the generic usage line for the other `member` verbs —
"usage: meshbay-node member upload <username>" — which advertises a removed
feature and sends the operator looking for a username it would then reject. It
names `root set --writable` now, and the man page carries the same. Three lines
between an operator finding the replacement and concluding the CLI is broken.

`--upload-dir` still works, so an existing script keeps working, but its help
and the man page say it is the old spelling and name what replaced it.

The Windows pass (§4.4) is what can be checked from here, made checkable:
drive letters and UNC through `as_posix()` into TOML, a drive root having no
basename to derive a name from — sharing a whole drive is ordinary there — and
a case-insensitive collision, which on NTFS and exFAT is one directory indexed
as two roots. `PureWindowsPath` throughout, for the reason the backslash test
earlier this branch got wrong.

What it cannot check is written down rather than glossed: ReadDirectoryChangesW
dropping events, MAX_PATH, and whether an eject actually lets a drive be
removed. §7d says so, along with two things the plan never considered — the
RO/RW asymmetry in `_do_dir_delete`, and `index_delta` carrying roots but not
`dirs`.

+"""
+The root model against the shapes Windows produces.
+
+CLAUDE.md is explicit that exFAT/NTFS and Windows are the common case, not an
+edge case: most operators are expected to share from an external drive on
+Windows. The RO/RW refactor added two booleans and a config rewriter, and the
+booleans are path-independent — but the rewriter, the name derivation and the
+collision check all touch paths, and none of them has ever run on Windows here.
+
+What this can check without Windows is the *shape* work: drive letters through
+`as_posix()`, a path with no basename to derive a name from, UNC, and a
+case-insensitive collision. `PureWindowsPath` is used deliberately — the plain
+`Path` on this machine is a `PosixPath`, where a backslash is an ordinary
+filename character, which is the mistake that made
+`test_a_backslash_path_written_into_node_toml_stays_parseable` fail everywhere
+but the platform it was written for.
+
+What it cannot check is the filesystem itself: `ReadDirectoryChangesW` dropping
+events under load, `MAX_PATH`, and whether an eject actually lets a drive be
+removed. Those need a person with Windows, and §4.4 of the refactor plan is
+where that is written down.
