    docs: SyncRetro renders sixel/text, not JXL; add SyncArcade

    The v3.22 note claimed SyncRetro renders "JXL/sixel graphics". It does not: sr_tiers_build() offers sixel and the color-block text tiers only, and no binary contains a JXL encoder. The door does send the JXL capability query,
    and CMake will find libjxl, but nothing renders through it -- plumbing that
    was laid and never connected. Say what it actually does.

    Also names the two consoles added since the note was written, and SyncArcade
    as its own entry: shared high scores are the user-visible thing that makes an arcade cabinet different from the cartridge consoles beside it.

    docs: drop the fast log-off echo note from the v3.22 release notes

    The lost /O echo was a regression introduced during v3.22 development,
    not a defect present in v3.21 or earlier, so no released version ever
    exhibited it and nobody upgrading from v3.21 has anything to notice.
    Revert the bullet added in 8140fc0255 (select-30-silk); the fix itself
    stays.

    v322: record the file-copy permission fix

    Copying a file on a Unix-like system now preserves the source's
    permissions, so a copied executable stays executable. The bug it fixes
    is as old as the copy routine itself and shipped in v3.21 and every
    earlier release, which is worth saying in the notes: a sysop who worked
    around it by chmod'ing after a copy can stop.

    v322: record the name-server detection fixes

    Windows name-server auto-detection now finds IPv6 servers, the Mail
    Server's MX look-up is held to the IPv4 ones it can actually use, and
    dns.js's synchronous resolve methods return their results again.
