Subject: [PATCH] Rename "Stage" -> "Teacher" (studio/lesson console); free the
 Stage name

The full-feature desktop console (big TFT, arcade buttons, instrument pass-through)
is repositioned as the "Teacher" for studio desks and lessons:
- stage.html -> teacher.html, info-stage.html -> info-teacher.html (git mv)
- all links/paths, the embed variant (stage -> teacher), nav, cards, embed docs,
  README, build.sh + deploy.sh updated; deploy cleans the stale live stage files
The "Stage" name is now free for a forthcoming foot-pedal stompbox (/stage.html).
