audit: sweep ORM to the shortlist cap

Relational Databases had 7 entries against the cap of 5. Removed:
- dataset (2,316,477 downloads/month) - dict-store convenience wrapper, not the ORM job
- pony (653,675 downloads/month) - fading mindshare, no successor trajectory; repo still active, this is a cap call not an abandonment call
- tortoise-orm (599,872 downloads/month, flat) - async niche now served by SQLAlchemy asyncio and sqlmodel

Downloads are PyPI last-30-day via ClickPy fetched 2026-08-16.

Both subcategories reordered per entry-ordering rule: obvious choices by
downloads descending (sqlalchemy 423.9M, django.db.models riding django
56.1M, peewee 50.8M; pynamodb 4.1M, mongoengine 2.5M) then challengers
(sqlmodel 22.3M; beanie 1.6M).
