docs: describe the release assets the daily build actually publishes

Browse Source 
- add the joined registry, and note that the FAA CSV it supersedes still ships
- document basic-ac-db.json.gz and mictronics-db.zip, which have been published for months
  without appearing in the README
- point at NOTICE for the redistribution terms that travel with the data

- **openairframes_faa.csv**
All [FAA registration data](https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/aircraft_certification/aircraft_registry/releasable_aircraft_download) from 2023-08-16 to present (~260 MB)
- **openairframes_registry.csv**
Every national registry in one table, one row per registration record, with a `source`
column naming the registry it came from. Currently the FAA (United States) and Transport
Canada. Identifier columns (`transponder_code_hex`, `registration_number`,
`openairframes_id`) lead the table and are populated for every source.
- **openairframes_faa.csv**
All [FAA registration data](https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/aircraft_certification/aircraft_registry/releasable_aircraft_download) from 2023-08-16 to present (~275 MB).
Superseded by `openairframes_registry.csv`; still published so existing consumers keep working.
- **ReleasableAircraft_{date}.zip**
A daily snapshot of the FAA database, which updates at **05:30 UTC**
- **basic-ac-db.json.gz**
[ADS-B Exchange](https://www.adsbexchange.com/) basic aircraft database, republished unmodified.
- **mictronics-db.zip**
[Mictronics](https://www.mictronics.de/aircraft-database/) aircraft database, republished
unmodified. Best effort — the release ships without it when the source is unavailable.
Redistribution terms for the underlying sources travel with the release in **NOTICE**. Some
registries permit redistribution only on condition that specific notices reach you with the data.
