Withdrawn teams forfeit visibly through the bracket instead of becoming byes

A withdrawn team stays in any slot whose opponent is not known yet and forfeits when they arrive; the board strikes the name through and tags the match 'Forfeit · Team'. Release 0.5.1.

+## [0.5.1] - 2026-09-03
+
+### Changed
+- A team that withdraws during a bracket now shows as a **forfeit** in every match it was in
+  or would have reached, with its name struck through and a "Forfeit · Team" tag on the match,
+  instead of quietly becoming a bye. If the opponent isn't known yet, the withdrawn team stays
+  in its slot and forfeits the moment the opponent arrives; in double elimination it forfeits
+  its losers-bracket match too. Play continues and the tournament still goes Final on its own.
+- Pool match lists mark forfeits as "FF".
