Co-location tier nomenclature
docs(projects): fix A1 gap -- consolidate tier-index pages into co-location-tier-system.md and rewrite 7 atlas-co-location-index-* pages to remove deprecated Tier 5 star scheme, T1/T2/T3 Valid/Hub/Apex labels, and fabricated Nth-Degree Cluster framework (38 files); real V3 tier system (Regional/District/Local/Fringe) is the only vocabulary now in use, per SCORING-METHODOLOGY.md
