docs: point readers at the archived minio branch

Someone arriving at main after the rename has one question the README did not
answer: where did the MinIO-named builds go. Both READMEs now say it directly —
the archived minio branch and the releases up to RELEASE.2026-08-04T00-00-00Z
hold the artifacts maintained under the original identity, and those assets and
the docker.io/pgsty/minio image stay published and unmodified.

The note also records the rename itself with its date, and repeats the one fact
that determines whether an operator has any work to do: only product and
artifact names changed. MINIO_* variables, minio_* metrics, x-minio-* headers,
/minio/* routes and the on-disk format are the same.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Silo is an independent, community-maintained fork of the open-source MinIO server, published by [Pigsty](https://pigsty.io) from [`pgsty/silo`](https://github.com/pgsty/silo). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by MinIO, Inc. “MinIO” is used only to identify the upstream project and compatibility lineage.
> [!NOTE]
> This repository was renamed from `pgsty/minio` to `pgsty/silo`, and its default branch from `master` to `main`, on 2026-08-06. If you need the artifacts maintained under the original MinIO identity, they are on the archived [`minio`](https://github.com/pgsty/silo/tree/minio) branch and in the releases up to [`RELEASE.2026-08-04T00-00-00Z`](https://github.com/pgsty/silo/releases/tag/RELEASE.2026-08-04T00-00-00Z); those assets and the `docker.io/pgsty/minio` image stay published and unmodified. The rename changed product and artifact names only — `MINIO_*` variables, `minio_*` metrics, `x-minio-*` headers, `/minio/*` routes, and the on-disk format are unchanged.
## Overview
Silo maintains one downstream release line derived from the open-source MinIO server. It provides maintained builds and release artifacts for existing MinIO-compatible deployments after upstream community distribution ended. Pigsty uses Silo for object storage, including as an optional PostgreSQL backup repository.
