docs: fix yearly recurrence format and clarify sort/limitations

- Fix `REM Mon DD` → `REM MMM DD` in yearly recurrence table
- Clarify `--sort original` preserves processing order in CLI reference
- Update `RELATED=END` trigger behaviour (treated as `RELATED=START`)
- Remove unsupported EXDATE/RDATE+override limitation (now handled)
- Fix `--sort none` → `--sort original` in CLI help text
- Remove EXDATE/RDATE/override guard from `simple_recurrence`

- `FREQ=YEARLY` with `BYMONTH`/`BYDAY` variants: **not supported**, only simple yearly (same day every year).
- `RDATE` (additional isolated dates): **not supported**, warning emitted.
- Recurring events that have both EXDATE/RDATE and override occurrences (`RECURRENCE-ID`): **not supported**, event skipped with warning.

- `TRIGGER;VALUE=DATE-TIME` (absolute datetime trigger): ignored silently.
- Positive triggers (after the event): ignored silently.
- `RELATED=END` triggers: **not implemented**.
- `RELATED=END` triggers: the offset is applied as if it were `RELATED=START` (no warning emitted).
- `REPEAT`/`DURATION` (repeating alarms) on all-day events: ignored.
