Creates the tooling/ folder:

What this adds

A single tooling/README.md establishing the directory:

  • Scope boundary with the awesomelist: build versus link. The awesomelist
    curates external resources; tooling/ holds work the community builds and
    maintains in-repo. A tool that graduates to its own repository keeps an index
    entry.
  • An index mapping each tool to the QS entries it operationalises. Seeded
    with the QIR/LLVM circuit mapper Gabriel Ambroise described in the thread
    (listed as incoming, so the slot is ready when he is) and pq-audit as
    community reference tooling for QS04 inventory work.
  • Contribution steps: describe the tool on Slack or just raise the PR, add a
    subdirectory with a README stating what it does, which QS entries it maps to,
    how to run it, and its maturity; add an index row with a named maintainer.

Open question for the leads

The repository license is CC BY-SA 4.0, which suits documentation but is not
designed for source code. Before substantial code lands in tooling/, it may be
worth designating a standard code license for this directory's contents
(Apache-2.0 and MIT are the common choices), with CC BY-SA continuing to cover
documentation. Flagged for decision rather than assumed.

Relationship to other work

A separate PR proposes the first resident tool - the markdown-first Quantum
Readiness Assessment from the charter's Track 1. The two are kept apart so this
directory-creation PR stays trivially mergeable; the index row for the
assessment updates once both land.

Creates the tooling/ home John suggested creating via PR: an index of
in-repo tools and community reference tooling, each mapped to the QS
entries it operationalises, with contribution steps and an open question
on code licensing (CC BY-SA suits documentation, not source).

Seeds the index with the incoming QIR/LLVM circuit mapper and pq-audit as
reference tooling for QS04 inventory work.
