docs: add funding config + Support sections

- Add .github/FUNDING.yml (GitHub Sponsors, Ko-fi, Buy Me a
  Coffee, thanks.dev, Open Collective) to enable the repo
  Sponsor button.
- Add a Support section to the README mirroring the GitHub
  profile (Sponsors / Ko-fi / Buy Me a Coffee / Open
  Collective badges) + a TOC entry.
- Add a Support section to the website (GitHub Sponsors as
  the primary CTA, the rest secondary) and a Sponsor link in
  the footer; funding links centralized in lib/site.ts.

All three work end-to-end; live DB behavior is integration-tested in CI.
