Megamenu goes visual: spotlight layout, page images on pagetree columns

- customer wish (via Olli, 2026-10-27): a more visual main menu in the
  style of rossvideo.com - image cards instead of plain link lists; for
  Insights a left-rail submenu whose hover swaps a visual area showing
  the latest news and the next events
- new entry layout "spotlight" in evo_megamenu_json, built strictly on
  the catalog pattern so the extension stays project-neutral: `nav` is
  a flat rail from the linked page's live children (abstract as teaser,
  first page media as 640px-webp image from stage 2 - the hover swap
  material), `spotlight` is emitted verbatim from the new
  BuildSpotlightEvent (null without a listener); curated columns are
  ignored like on pagetree
- new vitec listener ProvideInsightsSpotlight supplies the cards: the
  three latest news (storage pid 11, type 0 - the Solr convention;
  link /news/article/<path_segment> per the NewsDetail route enhancer;
  fal_media as processed 640px webp) and the next two events
  (hideonwebsite = 0, upcoming by eventstart/eventend; link = eventurl
  or the events page)
- pagetree columns can now carry an image (stage 2+, first page media
  of the column's page): attach images in the page properties and the
  markets/solutions panels turn into image cards without further code
- TCA select and label extended; README brought up to date (the
  pagetree layout had never been documented) with the spotlight JSON
  contract, reference mirror synced; frontend briefing updated
- activation is editorial: switch the Insights menu entry to the
  spotlight layout and link it to the Insights page
