fix(detail): banded first-choice interpretation + plain-English P8 absence copy

Batch C (points 7-10):
- Point 7: the admissions section shows the first-choice offer rate but no
  sense of how severe a low rate is. Reuse the compare screen's banded
  summariseAdmissions ('More than half of first choices missed out' etc.)
  as an interpretive line under the tiles. (Selective/faith framing was
  already present via admissionsTag.)
- Point 8: replace the jargon P8-suspended banner ('not used for
  accountability purposes ... treat with caution') with the compare
  screen's plain-English 'no KS2 baseline (COVID)' explanation.
- Points 9 (disadvantaged cohort sizes) and 10 (FSM benchmark) don't apply
  to the detail page: it shows disadvantaged composition, not disadvantaged
  attainment, and no FSM-vs-benchmark comparison — so there's no small-cohort
  caveat or cross-definition fallback to fix here.
- Also fixed a stray lowercase 'national avg' provenance string Batch B
  missed.
