No drag below top speed: ships coast and orbits no longer decay; drag acts only on the excess over the hull's top speed

Carries out aetheria-gravity:ruling:no-drag-below-top-speed (2026-10-14), which the code never implemented (operator, 2026-10-29). The VelocityLimit clamp still caps speed; the soft cap is the ruling's remaining half.
