ranger a9d76decae v0.7.3 — WordPress.org guideline 8 compliance + Privacy section
Adds the Update URI guard pattern so one source tree produces two
compliant build artifacts:

* Gitea install (default): `Update URI:` header points at
  git.davidtkeane.com → wp.org skips this plugin → self-hosted
  updater runs normally.
* WordPress.org submission zip (build script strips that line):
  header is empty → `radio_should_skip_custom_updater()` returns
  true → entire updater file short-circuits at load time → wp.org
  takes over update delivery as guideline 8 requires.

Settings page now guards the Updates panel render with
`function_exists()` because the panel function only exists when
the updater was allowed to load.

Also adds a dedicated `== Privacy ==` section to readme.txt
covering every outbound connection (none from the plugin itself;
SomaFM audio + 30s songs.json poll while playing) and adds an
explicit link to SomaFM's terms of use (somafm.com/legal/).

No user-visible behaviour change in either distribution.
