docs: add upstream tracker
Problem: the full upstream PR and issue triage was removed from the
README during the repository modernization, leaving no user-facing
record of what the fork addresses.

Solution: restore the triage tables in a dedicated doc/upstream.md and
link to it from the top of the README. Keeps the README clean while
giving the full picture a permanent home.
