Compatibility gate: check the serial tag, not the model name

Platform is identified by characters 6-8 of the serial number, and only
platform 105 (ES/EM/BP - ESU EMU ESA BPS BPU EMJ IJL) speaks the AA55-era
meter bus this product emulates. The reference unit is 95000BPS225W0290 -> BPS.

Everything with a "-20"/G2 suffix is a different platform: SBP G2 (SPB/SPN) and
ES G2 (ESN/ESC) are platform 745, ET/EH/BT are 205/745/753. PV-only inverters
(SDT/DST/MSU/NSU) have no battery to control at all.

Added as the first item in Step 0 of the field guide, because it is a 60-second
check that decides whether the job can be quoted, and as a table in the README.

## Compatibility
**Check the serial number, not the model name.** Characters 6-8 of the serial are
the platform tag:
| tag | platform | verdict |
|---|---|---|
| `ESU EMU ESA BPS BPU EMJ IJL` | 105 — ES/EM/BP, AA55-era meter bus | **supported** |
| `SPB SPN` | 745 — SBP **G2** (`GW…-SBP-20`) | no |
| `ESN ESC` | 745 — ES **G2** (`GW…-ES-20`) | no |
| `ETU EHU BTU …` | 205/745/753 — ET/EH/BT hybrids | no |
| `SDT DST MSU NSU …` | PV-only inverters — no battery to control | no |
A "-20" or "G2" suffix means a different platform with a different meter
protocol. The tags come from the `goodwe` library's `PLATFORM_105_MODELS`, which
is also what Home Assistant's own integration uses to pick a protocol.
- GoodWe **ES / BP family** inverters (AA55 / RS485 meter-bus generation)
- The protocol is **reverse-engineered**. There is no vendor contract, and a
firmware change on GoodWe's side could break every installation at once. Say
