0xMarcio a7449da61b Move the year directories out of the repository root
Twenty-eight year folders sat above the README, so anyone opening the
repository scrolled past 1999 through 2026 before reaching a word about what
it is. The entries move to cves/ and the files the pipeline reads and writes
move to index/, which leaves the root at README, LICENSE and five
directories.

Nothing about the data changes. Every script takes its two roots from the
same place, and all five syncs report zero writes against the moved tree,
which is what a correct repoint looks like.
