config.json.templ's component names already default to "sim" for every
backend (sensor/heater/stirrer/plant), making the separate .sim template
mostly redundant - it only differed in dt/sim_warp_factor/PID gain tuning,
which .templ now adopts directly. Removes config.json.sim, updates
brewpi.py's CLI args (-m/--logdir replaces the unused -d/--model/--sim
flags), and refreshes the README/TODO references that pointed at the now-
removed file.

Drop the now-stale "config.json.templ/.sim still carry dead
Model.kn/Plant.kn keys" note (they were deleted), note that Pot now
always starts at theta_amb (no separate initial-temp param) and that
dropping the gain (efficiency) factor entirely is a partial realism
regression, not just a fix. Point the config-validation item at the
gain key that's still dead in config.json.sim. Also update demo_sud.py
to match the Pot params Pot.__init__ actually reads.

The unconditional p_loss/theta_amb/temp prints (left over from the
heat-loss-units fix) ran every tick, spamming stdout in both the
server and every demo script. Drop them and check off the matching
TODO.md item.

Both TODO.md backlogs and the README's architecture section still
described the Kalman-filter/heat-diffusion design that's since been
replaced by the delay-line Pot model and Kalman-free Smith predictor.
Check off the items that rewrite already fixed (heat-loss units,
transport delay vs. single-pole lag, three-Kalman-tuning), note how
the kn/sensor-noise item was resolved differently than proposed, and
add newly-spotted issues: brewpi.py wiring set_model_power
unconditionally (breaks pid_type "Normal"), kalman.py being dead code
in production, stale Kalman/kn keys in the config templates, and
debug print()s left in Pot.process().

Review of pot.py found a likely root cause for sim-vs-real control
mismatches: the heat-loss term carries the wrong units, masking
ambient cooling in simulation. Also notes the dropped sensor-noise
term, hardcoded ambient temp, and lag-vs-dead-time modeling gap.
