* chore: Update branding from τ²-bench to τ-bench across the application

- Changed title and references in index.html, App.jsx, DocsContent.jsx, Leaderboard.jsx, Results.jsx, and TrajectoryVisualizer.jsx to reflect the new branding.
- Updated submitting organization in submission.json from "Qwen" to "Alibaba".

* chore: Add mention of tau-bench in README
