Add full ITINERARY.md with ferry times and driving suggestions

Browse Source 
- New ITINERARY.md: complete day-by-day from Aug 4 Walldorf to Sep 2 home.
  Includes exact ferry departure/arrival times for all 4 crossings,
  recommended hotel departure times on driving days, timed daily schedules.
  Key findings: IoM→Larne (not Belfast) every 2-3 days, Aug 10 sailing fits;
  Galway→Dingle via Killimer-Tarbert car ferry saves 90km vs Limerick.
- IoM restored to 3 nights (Aug 7-10) to fit ferry schedule
- Belfast updated: arrival from Larne, not Belfast direct
- All section dates corrected; README updated with ITINERARY.md link

## What Is It
The Wild Atlantic Way is a signed coastal route along Ireland's entire west coast — the world's longest defined coastal route. The west coast is the windward side of Ireland: constantly changing light, dramatic cliffs, remote peninsulas, and Irish-speaking (Gaeltacht) communities.
