Mirror the "Role Risks and Trust Assumptions" section from the public docs (obol-gitbook, published at https://docs.obol.org/docs/learn/introduction/obol-splits) into the README. Documents that several ObolValidatorManager roles (CONSOLIDATION_ROLE, SET_BENEFICIARY_ROLE, SET_REWARD_ROLE, WITHDRAWAL_ROLE, RECOVER_FUNDS_ROLE, DEPOSIT_ROLE) and the owner are more privileged than their names suggest, plus the deposit front-running trust assumption. This is the agreed mitigation for the OVM audit findings: transparent documentation of role privileges, no re-audit and no code changes. README-only; contract source is untouched.

Adds a Role Risks & Trust Assumptions section to
README.md(after the Disclaimer), documenting that several ObolValidatorManager roles are more privileged than their names suggest, plus the deposit front-running trust assumption.Mirrors the Role Risks and Trust Assumptions section of the public OVM docs so the two surfaces stay consistent. README only, no contract or code changes.
Requesting review before merge.
