First batch of comparisons: 7 in PoE, 8 in PoE 2

Shipping a new content type: head-to-head tool comparisons with editorial verdict, side-by-side table, and use-case matrix. Starting with 15 comparisons — 4 flagships (~1800 words each) and 11 shorts (~700). Coverage: 7 comparisons in PoE and 8 in PoE 2, spanning every relevant category (trading, build planning, reference, crafting, filters, economy). Each comparison surfaces as a dedicated section on the game page and as a chip visible on each tool involved.
