docs: align quickstart model with CPU-friendly recommendation (qwen3.5:4b) (#287)

Reported via twitter (issue #269): the macOS install guide and other
docs recommend a 4B model on CPU but the README and quickstart pull /
ask a much larger model (qwen3:8b) — confusing and slow for first-time
CPU-only users.

Switch the README quickstart and the docs/getting-started/quickstart.md
'Chat with Any Model' tile to qwen3.5:4b, with an inline note that GPU
users can scale up to qwen3.5:9b or larger. This matches the existing
chat-simple preset and the macOS guide's CPU recommendation.

Closes #269
