fix(marketing-plan): anonymize Olo reference example and sweep all leaks

Replaces all client-identifying details in the canonical example and
6 other reference files. Numbers and structural lessons preserved so
the example retains its teaching value.

Anonymizations applied:
- Client: Olo to Quietude (incl. all olo.app/space/audio/center domains)
- Team: Markus to Alex, Catarina to Sam, Corey Haines to Casey Reed,
  Shariq to Devon
- Product: Ona (AI) to Mira
- Repos: olo-* and Olo-Space/* to quietude-* and Quietude-Inc/*
- Endorser/investor specifics: Bryan Johnson to longevity-influencer
  (generic), Mark Pincus + OpenAI angels to consumer-tech angels,
  Andre Hurd/Daybreakers to partner-event-business
- Journal: Psychophysiology study to peer-reviewed psychophysiology study
- Substack: Coffee with Catarina to Sams newsletter

Other changes:
- Renamed references/example-olo.md to references/example-quietude.md
- Updated disclaimer at top of example to explain anonymization
- Updated VERSIONS.md changelog and plan-template.md reference
- Fixed an earlier blockquote that broke the AARRR table layout

Verified zero remaining identifying refs across all marketing-plan files.

## Why AARRR for plan sequencing
Three reasons.

Examples:
- "Rewrite App Store listing in voice" — spans Acquisition (organic discovery) and Activation (threshold to trial). Primary impact = Activation (trial conversion rate). Assign to Activation, mention crossover.
- "Eye mask Shopify page rewrite" — spans Acquisition (organic search for sleep mask) and Revenue (sale conversion). Primary impact = Revenue (transaction). Assign to Revenue, mention crossover.
- "Markus's LinkedIn cadence" — Acquisition (top of funnel for D2C subscribers).
- "Alex's LinkedIn cadence" — Acquisition (top of funnel for D2C subscribers).
- "Customer.io Flow 6 (eye mask post-purchase)" — Retention (deepens hardware buyer engagement) with crossover to Activation (hardware → app premium activation path).
When in doubt: where would removing this move hurt the most? Assign there.
