docs: document the 55 features missing from LOTUS_FEATURES.md; refresh the Synapse re-check (#294)

LOTUS_FEATURES.md had not been updated since September and was missing
55 shipped features. Add a "June–October 2026 Additions" section,
grouped by area, one line per feature with its commit and issue.
LOTUS_REFERENCE.md's blocked-features note is re-checked against
production Synapse 1.162.0.

Fixes #294

 ## 🚫 Blocked Features (server / upstream gated)
 
-Re-run `/_matrix/client/versions` + `unstable_features` after each Synapse upgrade. **Re-checked on 1.157.1 (2026-07-23): no change — all four below are still `false`.** The 1.156.0→1.157.1 delta unblocked nothing (it's a bugfix release; the only feature-bearing release in the gap was 1.156.0, which we were already running).
+Re-run `/_matrix/client/versions` + `unstable_features` after each Synapse upgrade. **Re-checked on 1.162.0 (2026-10-18, Gitea #294):** live location (`msc3489`/`msc3672`) and relation redaction (`msc3892`) are still unadvertised; thread subscriptions (`msc4306`), sticky events (`msc4354`) and QR login (`msc4108`) are still `false`. New: `org.matrix.msc3026.busy_presence` is advertised as `false`, and enabling it would give Do Not Disturb a real presence state (#283). `msc3266` and `msc4222` are no longer listed, but room preview still works (`im.nheko.summary` and `v1/room_summary` both answer 200). (Previous check: 1.157.1 on 2026-07-23, no change then.)
 
 - **[BLOCKED] Live Location Sharing** (MSC3489 + MSC3672 both `false`) — real-time GPS beacons over the existing static share.
 - **[BLOCKED] Reaction/Relation Redaction** (MSC3892 `false`) — remove a reaction without redacting the parent; current full-redaction fallback is acceptable.
