docs: move the 1000 Novels rights warning from Excluded to its datasheet

Browse files

The card listed 1000_novels among the released sources and, at the same time,
in the "Excluded sources" table with a warning that the novels may include
in-copyright works. The source has been released since v0.2.1, so the row
contradicted the source table; the warning itself was correct.

- src/sources.py: drop 1000_novels_corpus_CLARIN-PL from EXCLUDED
- data/1000_novels/1000_novels.md: rights note with the per-text screen
(830 public domain by term, 10 Wolne Lektury public domain, 17 in copyright
under CC BY-SA 3.0, 143 unverified) and the fixes planned for the next release
- src/make_docs.py: README status bullet pointing to that note
- README.md: regenerated with src/make_docs.py (CHANGELOG stub discarded)

Parquet files are unchanged.
