docs: rewrite usage.md to the current gateway model

usage.md described a pre-gateway operating model — a roboco_task_scan
tool, /api/v1/<group> endpoints, an awaiting_docs status, and an 18-agent
roster. Update it to the real surface: give_me_work, /api/<group> routes,
awaiting_documentation, the estimated_complexity/task_type/nature task
fields, and 19 agents.

## Creating Tasks
`POST /api/tasks` has no silent defaults — `title`, `description` (min 20
chars), `acceptance_criteria` (at least one), `team`, `task_type`, `nature`,
and `estimated_complexity` are all required, plus exactly one of `project_id`
(the repo this task targets) or `product_id` (a cell→project map for a fan-out
task). See the `TaskCreate` schema in `roboco/models/task.py` (or the Swagger
UI at `/docs`) for the full field list and enum values.

Agents automatically:
1. Scan for pending tasks (`roboco_task_scan`)
2. Claim tasks they can work on
1. Pull pending work via the gateway verb `give_me_work()`
2. Claim it with `i_will_work_on(task_id)` (auto-creates the feature branch)
3. Follow the workflow: UNDERSTAND → PLAN → EXECUTE → VERIFY → NOTES
4. Submit for QA when done
4. Open a PR and submit for QA when done (`open_pr` / `i_am_done`)
5. Move to next task
