audit: sweep Web APIs to the shortlist cap

Browse Source 
First Audit of the section; maintainer adjudicated 2026-08-16 at the
preview review, flipping django-modern-rest to keep (enters as the
Django Challenger; Obvious slots stay django-rest-framework,
django-ninja, strawberry-django). Tiers reordered by downloads/month.

Removed (downloads are PyPI last-30-day via BigQuery, fetched 2026-08-16):

- falcon (1.8M/month): active, but not named unprompted since
  fastapi/litestar; judgment call
- sanic (1.8M/month): same judgment as falcon - declining mindshare,
  successor to nothing
- webargs (3.8M/month): request-parsing helper, not an API framework;
  wrong job for the section
