Retire the Delphi 12.1 CE package project #87

The only 12.1 CE environment was upgraded to Delphi 13, so the project
can no longer be built or tested. Since the LIBSUFFIX AUTO switch, the
Delphi12.3 project produces dclBold290.bpl for the whole 12.x line, so
any remaining 12.1 users build from packages/Delphi12.3 instead.

Removes packages/Delphi12.1_CE and the 12.1 CE mentions from README,
CLAUDE.md, docs and the release checklist. Releases now carry three
BPLs: dclBold280/290/370.bpl.

 - [ ] Build the 4 design packages (auto-named since LIBSUFFIX AUTO):
-      `dclBold280.bpl` (11.3), `dclBold290.bpl` (12.x - one BPL serves 12.1 CE + 12.3,
