docs(readme): update free-tier provider status for 2026

Outdated free-tier info was misleading new users. Sync corrections into README.md and README.zh-CN.md, and force IPv4-first DNS resolution in the CLI launcher to avoid undici IPv6 connect timeouts (502). - Kiro AI: free tier now ~50 credits/month (was "Unlimited FREE") - Qwen Code / Gemini CLI: free tiers discontinued in 2026 - OpenCode Free: note free model list fluctuates - Vertex AI: Gemini API no longer uses $300 free credits since Mar 2026 - cli/cli.js: spawn server/tray with --dns-result-order=ipv4first
