chore: refresh release docs and bump to 4.2 (#602)

- refresh `README.md`, `APP_STORE_DESCRIPTION.txt`, and
`static/index.html` to reflect current reader, offline, and Live
Activity capabilities
- regenerate `APP_STORE_CHANGELOG.txt` from commits since `v4.0` with
user-facing release notes
- run `make minor` to bump marketing version from `4.1` to `4.2` and
build number from `338` to `339`

 Offline and Sync
