@MichaelBrim, did a final pass of the docs for the release and was reminded of our previous discussion on the consistency model config placeholder not being necessary anymore. Figured I'd make an attempt to remove it for the release, but please double check I didn't remove something I shouldn't or didn't miss something.

Also added a note to the limitations section on directory support. Wording might need some adjustments.

Also, a question: isn't there a version in the configure.ac that we need to update as well

The configure.ac was initially set up to use this line to get the version when creating a tar file, but the version ~~flag~~ tag on the main branch needs to be an annotated ~~flag~~ tag to get the correct value. https://github.com/LLNL/UnifyFS/blob/a9797fe6137a2a0554b4e6988f1ac95b121023e0/configure.ac#L9-L10
