Add Canjector Major variant — all three variants now documented

- Start: Bus origin, no termination
- Middle: Intermediate, switchable 120Ω
- Major: End of bus, fixed 120Ω termination
- Blue PCB render with TERM label and 120Ω resistor visible

## Notes for MrC
This is a **confidence builder** for the training vault — it shows Chris's practical engineering under pressure. Good story for students: identify the problem, study existing solutions, design your own, build it, test it. The full engineering cycle, not just code.
