feat: create pre-release version for 2.0 major update

[vbreuss]

Updates the Mockolate integration to align with the 2.0 pre-release API and refreshes assertions/tests accordingly, as part of the upcoming 2.0 major update.

Key Changes:

• Bump dependencies (Mockolate to 2.0.0-pre.2, aweXpect to 2.31.0).
• Migrate tests to the new mock creation/setup/verify API (CreateMock(), sut.Mock.Setup, sut.Mock.Verify) and update expected failure messages.
• Update Mockolate-related assertion helpers (notably Then signature and mock description plumbing).
• Update README documentation.

• Part of Prepare for 2.0 release #78

Source/aweXpect.Mockolate/ThatMockVerify.AllInteractionsAreVerified.cs:83

• TryGetValue always returns an IDescribableSubject, even when Actual as IMock is null. In that case the description falls back to a raw type name (and may omit "… mock"), which makes failures harder to understand. Only provide MyDescribableSubject when the IMock cast succeeds; otherwise fall back to base.TryGetValue.

		public override bool TryGetValue<TValue>([NotNullWhen(true)] out TValue? value) where TValue : default
		{
			if (typeof(TValue) == typeof(IDescribableSubject) &&
			    new MyDescribableSubject<TVerify>(Actual as IMock) is TValue describableSubject)
			{
				value = describableSubject;
