Remove Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from the collection

The game supports ultrawide natively, so there is nothing for this project to
fix. Deletes games/Expedition33 and all references (README table, THIRD_PARTY,
the never-published v1.2.0 changelog section). A one-line changelog note records
why it was dropped, and the METHOD=native tooling capability stays for any
future works-out-of-the-box title.

-- **New game: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33** (Unreal Engine 5, no DRM) — ⚠️ partial support.

-  Adds a third install method, `external`: where a good third-party fix already

-  The fix itself is [ClairObscurFix](https://github.com/Lyall/ClairObscurFix)
-  by **Lyall** (MIT).
-- Ships a **reduced profile** (only `Center HUD` enabled). Upstream v0.0.10 is
-  archived and predates current game builds; with full features it crashed on
-  save load. Documented with a revalidation checklist rather than marked working.
-- `publish.sh` now cuts **one release for the whole collection**, attaching every
-  game's zip, and replaces same-named assets so re-runs are idempotent.

-## v1.1.0 — Burglin' Gnomes *(never released; folded into v1.2.0)*
 
 - **New game: Burglin' Gnomes** (Unity 6, Mono) — ✅ confirmed working at 5120×1440.
   Adds the `bepinex` install method and a purpose-built C# plugin.

-✅ **Native ultrawide — no fix needed.** The game added official ultrawide support

-## History: why there is no fix here anymore
-
-This entry previously vendored [ClairObscurFix](https://github.com/Lyall/ClairObscurFix)
-by Lyall (MIT) — an excellent fix when it was written. Two things made it the wrong
-choice for the current game:
-
-1. **It's archived** (last release v0.0.10, May 2025) and no longer tracks the game's
-   builds. Its pattern scans began failing, and it **crashed on save load**.
-2. **Its config flags don't gate its hooks.** Even with only `Center HUD` enabled, the
-   `.asi` still installed `Level Load`, `Widgets`, cutscene, and PostProcess hooks into
-   now-shifted code. Disabling features never reduced the crash surface — the only
-   reliable fix was to not load it.
-
-Meanwhile the game shipped official ultrawide support, so the fix became **pure
-liability**: risk with no remaining benefit. Removed entirely.
-
-**Takeaway for the collection:** a vendored fix against a live game is a decaying
-asset. When the game itself catches up, the right move is to drop the fix and mark
-the game native — not to keep nursing a broken mod.
-
-## If a future game patch regresses ultrawide
-
-The game has **no DRM**, so if native support ever breaks, a small dedicated
-HUD-centering patch (one hook, not a dozen) is a viable path — far cleaner than
-reviving an archived general-purpose fix.
