Fix terminology: distinguish ELM (ontology) from EDC (serialization)#3
Conversation
ELM (European Learning Model) is the ontology; EDC (European Digital Credentials) is the credential serialization format based on that ontology. Documentation incorrectly used "ELM" when referring to the credential format itself. This commit corrects all references across README files to use EDC where the credential format is meant, preserving ELM only when referring to the underlying ontology.

Summary
The documentation throughout the repository incorrectly used ELM (European Learning Model) when referring to the credential format itself. ELM is the ontology (the data model), while EDC (European Digital Credentials) is the serialization format based on that ontology.
This PR corrects the terminology across all 24 documentation files:
ELMv3→EDC), and the standards & compliance section to properly distinguish between the ELM ontology and the EDC credential format.*/elm/README.md(8 files): Updated titles and descriptions from "European Learning Model (ELM) credential format" to "European Digital Credentials (EDC) format, a serialization of the ELM ontology". All content item descriptions updated accordingly (ELM-compliant→EDC-compliant, etc.).*/README.mdcredential-level READMEs (8 files): Updated theelm/directory description from "European Learning Model (ELM) schemas" to "European Digital Credentials (EDC) schemas".*/input-fields/README.md(7 files): Updated credential map descriptions from "the ELM [credential] fields" to "the EDC [credential] fields".What is NOT changed
elm/,elm-*-schema.json, etc.) remain unchanged to avoid breaking existing references and tooling.Test plan
