build: drop the go.work replace now that v4.0.0 is published
The version-specific replace existed only because workspace mode fetches the
go.mod of a required version, which failed while v4.0.0 was untagged. The tag
is on the proxy now, so the workspace resolves it on its own and the extra
indirection would only confuse readers.

-The two command modules require the library at its latest tag; the versioned `replace` in `go.work` resolves that tag to the working tree inside the checkout, which is also what lets the tree build before the tag exists.
+The two command modules require the library at a published tag. Inside the workspace that requirement only shapes the module graph; the code always comes from the working tree, so the tag can lag behind without affecting development.
-Releasing: tag the root module (`vX.Y.Z`), which releases the library and `icnsify` together. Then tidy the two command modules outside the workspace so their `go.sum` files learn the new version, and bump the `replace` line in `go.work` to match:
