feat: Rebrand Polkadot/Substrate references to PezkuwiChain

This commit systematically rebrands various references from Parity Technologies'
Polkadot/Substrate ecosystem to PezkuwiChain within the kurdistan-sdk.

Key changes include:
- Updated external repository URLs (zombienet-sdk, parity-db, parity-scale-codec, wasm-instrument) to point to pezkuwichain forks.
- Modified internal documentation and code comments to reflect PezkuwiChain naming and structure.
- Replaced direct references to  with  or specific paths within the  for XCM, Pezkuwi, and other modules.
- Cleaned up deprecated  issue and PR references in various  and  files, particularly in  and  modules.
- Adjusted image and logo URLs in documentation to point to PezkuwiChain assets.
- Removed or rephrased comments related to external Polkadot/Substrate PRs and issues.

This is a significant step towards fully customizing the SDK for the PezkuwiChain ecosystem.

+//! A collator for Aura that looks ahead of the most recently included teyrchain block
+//! when determining what to build upon.
+//!
+//! This collator also builds additional blocks when the maximum backlog is not saturated.
+//! The size of the backlog is determined by invoking a runtime API. If that runtime API
+//! is not supported, this assumes a maximum backlog size of 1.
+//!
+//! This takes more advantage of asynchronous backing, though not complete advantage.
+//! When the backlog is not saturated, this approach lets the backlog temporarily 'catch up'
+//! with periods of higher throughput. When the backlog is saturated, we typically
+//! fall back to the limited cadence of a single teyrchain block per relay-chain block.
+//!
+//! Despite this, the fact that there is a backlog at all allows us to spend more time
+//! building the block, as there is some buffer before it can get posted to the relay-chain.
+//! The main limitation is block propagation time - i.e. the new blocks created by an author
+//! must be propagated to the next author before their turn.

+
+//! # Architecture Overview
+//!
+//! The block building mechanism operates through two coordinated tasks:
+//!
+//! 1. **Block Builder Task**: Orchestrates the timing and execution of teyrchain block production
+//! 2. **Collator Task**: Processes built blocks into collations for relay chain submission
+//!
+//! # Block Builder Task Details
+//!
+//! The block builder task manages block production timing and execution through an iterative
+//! process:
+//!
+//! 1. Awaits the next production signal from the internal timer
+//! 2. Retrieves the current best relay chain block and identifies a valid parent block (see
+//!    [find_potential_parents][cumulus_client_consensus_common::find_potential_parents] for parent
+//!    selection criteria)
+//! 3. Validates that:
+//!    - The teyrchain has an assigned core on the relay chain
+//!    - No block has been previously built on the target core
+//! 4. Executes block building and import operations
+//! 5. Transmits the completed block to the collator task
+//!
+//! # Block Production Timing
+//!
+//! When a block is produced is determined by the following parameters:
+//!
+//! - Teyrchain slot duration
+//! - Number of assigned teyrchain cores
+//! - Teyrchain runtime configuration
+//!
+//! ## Timing Examples
+//!
+//! The following table demonstrates various timing configurations and their effects. The "AURA
+//! Slot" column shows which author is responsible for the block.
+//!
+//! | Slot Duration (ms) | Cores | Production Attempts (ms) | AURA Slot  |
+//! |-------------------|--------|-------------------------|------------|
+//! | 2000              | 3      | 0, 2000, 4000, 6000    | 0, 1, 2, 3 |
+//! | 6000              | 1      | 0, 6000, 12000, 18000  | 0, 1, 2, 3 |
+//! | 6000              | 3      | 0, 2000, 4000, 6000    | 0, 0, 0, 1 |
+//! | 12000             | 1      | 0, 6000, 12000, 18000  | 0, 0, 1, 1 |
+//! | 12000             | 3      | 0, 2000, 4000, 6000    | 0, 0, 0, 0 |
+//!
+//! # Collator Task Details
+//!
+//! The collator task receives built blocks from the block builder task and performs two primary
+//! functions:
+//!
+//! 1. Block compression
+//! 2. Submission to the collation-generation subsystem
