docs: document why Janus stays on 3.6 + refresh Thanatos cross-ref

Browse files

Add a Related-models note (35B-A3B discontinued in 3.8; the 3.8 MoEs are
Flash-Next ~180B and 2.4T-A95B; llmfan46 has no 3.8), and update the
Thanatos-27B row to its 3.8 heretic-ara rebase. Also ignore build.sh's
*.stripped.gguf intermediates.
