docs: remove empty recoil.py stub, update README and TODO to reflect actual state

- Remove empty beta_spectrum/components/recoil.py (0-line stub)
- Remove recoil.py from README.md project tree and components table
- Update TODO.md: replace specific recoil section with generic 'Additional
  Corrections' deferred item, update Current Status to 0.3.0 with actual
  implementation list, mark A4 as complete, set A3 as next step

-Not implementing at this time. The recoil correction (weak magnetism, recoil kinematics) is a small O(q/M_N) effect (~0.1%) that is subdominant to the shape factor C(W) we aim to extract. In the ⁹⁹Tc analysis, the shape factor absorbs all unmodelled energy-dependent effects — including recoil — so implementing recoil explicitly is unnecessary for the scientific goal.
+Not implementing at this time. Additional corrections (weak magnetism, recoil kinematics, etc.) require a complex implementation with project-wide consequences. This is a far-future plan, irrelevant to the current ⁹⁹Tc analysis goal where the shape factor C(W) absorbs all unmodelled energy-dependent effects.
