docs: clarify name pool vs polecat pool misconception

Browse Source 
Fix misleading language that could suggest polecats wait in an idle pool:

- refinery/engineer.go: "available polecat" → "fresh polecat (spawned on demand)"
- namepool.go: Clarify this pools NAMES not polecats; polecats are spawned
  fresh and nuked when done, only name slots are reused
- dog-pool-architecture.md: "Pool allocation pattern" → "Name slot allocation
  pattern (pool of names, not instances)"

There is no idle pool of polecats. They are spawned for work and nuked when done.
