Add per-type typed tabs and release 2.0.0

Each Custom Object Type now gets its own tab with type-specific columns,
filterset sidebar, bulk actions, configure table, and HTMX pagination.
Refactored views into a package (combined.py, typed.py), reorganized
templates, renamed config keys (models→combined_models, etc.), expanded
test suite to 50 tests, and updated CHANGELOG/README/version.

+## [2.0.0] - 2026-02-25
+
+### Added
+
+- **Typed tabs (per-type)** — each Custom Object Type gets its own tab with a full-featured
+  list view: type-specific columns, filterset sidebar, bulk edit/delete, configure table,
+  and HTMX pagination.
+- `typed_models` and `typed_weight` config settings.
+- Third-party plugin model support for both tab modes.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Renamed `models` config to `combined_models`; `label` to `combined_label`; `weight` to
+  `combined_weight`.
+- Refactored views from single `views.py` to `views/` package (`__init__.py`, `combined.py`,
+  `typed.py`).
+- Templates reorganized into `combined/` and `typed/` subdirectories.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Bulk action return URL in typed tabs — uses query parameter `?return_url=` on `formaction`
+  for reliable redirect.
+
 ## [1.0.1] - 2026-02-24

-| `models` | `['dcim.*', 'ipam.*', 'virtualization.*', 'tenancy.*', 'contacts.*']` | Models that get the Custom Objects tab. Accepts `app_label.model_name` strings **or** `app_label.*` wildcards to register every model in an app. |
-| `label`  | `'Custom Objects'` | Text displayed on the tab. |

+|---------|---------|-------------|
+| `combined_models` | `['dcim.*', 'ipam.*', 'virtualization.*', 'tenancy.*']` | Models that get the combined "Custom Objects" tab. Accepts `app_label.model_name` or `app_label.*` wildcards. |
+| `combined_label` | `'Custom Objects'` | Text displayed on the combined tab. |
+| `combined_weight` | `2000` | Tab position for the combined tab; lower = further left. |
+| `typed_models` | `[]` | Models that get per-type tabs (opt-in, empty by default). Same format as `combined_models`. |

+# Combined tab only (default)
+'combined_models': ['dcim.*', 'ipam.*', 'virtualization.*', 'tenancy.*']

-'models': ['dcim.device', 'dcim.site', 'ipam.prefix']
+# Per-type tabs for dcim models
+'typed_models': ['dcim.*']
 
-# Mix wildcards and specifics
-'models': ['dcim.*', 'virtualization.*', 'ipam.ipaddress']
+# Both modes for dcim, combined only for others
+'combined_models': ['dcim.*', 'ipam.*', 'virtualization.*', 'tenancy.*'],
+'typed_models': ['dcim.*'],

+# Only specific models
+'combined_models': ['dcim.device', 'dcim.site', 'ipam.prefix']

 - Pass the full count alongside the truncated list in the row tuple, then use it in the template.
