docs: iPhone 16 Pro Max and the gpu1 runner type were removed on 9 No… (#161)

* docs: iPhone 16 Pro Max and the gpu1 runner type were removed on 9 November 2026

A usage check found that iPhone 16 Pro Max and the gpu1 runner type each
carry less than 1% of 7-day usage, so under the support policy they were
removed on 9 November 2026. iPhone 16 Pro still carries more than 1%, so
it stays, deprecated, with removal now targeted for 7 December 2026,
subject to change based on usage. iOS 17, Pixel 7 and Maestro 2.2.0 are
not changed here.

- Devices & OS Versions: the iPhone 16 Pro Max row is gone. The
  deprecation warning names only iPhone 16 Pro and its new target date,
  and a removal sentence says runs that target iPhone 16 Pro Max are
  rejected and where to move them: iphone-16 (the default), iphone-17,
  iphone-air, iphone-18-pro or iphone-18-pro-max.
- Runner Type: the gpu1 row is gone, and the warning says it was removed
  and that Android runs which still pass it, per upload or per flow, run
  on cpu1 at the standard Android rate rather than failing (iOS still
  rejects it). The limitations no longer mention gpu1. This also drops a
  stray "|" after the old warning's closing ":::".
- Concurrency: the gpu1 column is gone, and the warning says its runs
  now count towards the cpu1 limit.
- Billing, README, GitHub Actions, EAS Workflows, Bitbucket Pipelines,
  Google Play APIs, Per-flow Devices and the MCP tools page no longer
  offer gpu1 or iphone-16-pro-max. iphone-16-pro stays, deprecated.

* docs: iOS 17, Pixel 7 and Maestro 2.2.0 removals now targeted for 23 November 2026

iOS 17, Pixel 7 and Maestro 2.2.0 were targeted for 9 November 2026, subject to usage. All three were still over 1% on the 2026-11-06 check, so their removal is now targeted for 23 November 2026.

New accounts get $20 of free credits. The Pro and Max plans include a set amount of usage each month, and usage beyond that is billed as [overage](billing/overage.md), up to a limit you control.
