Comprehensive SEO optimization across entire site

Structured Data (Schema.org/JSON-LD):
- Add Organization schema to layout (company info, social links)
- Add WebSite schema with search action
- Add BreadcrumbList schema to all pages
- Add FAQPage schema to submit page with 4 common questions
- Add SoftwareSourceCode schema to project pages (existing)

Meta Tags & Descriptions:
- Improve meta descriptions with keyword-rich content
- Homepage: mention 100+ projects, cities, tech stack search
- Radar: highlight interactive map, cities, real-time stats
- About: emphasize Git-based, community-driven platform
- Submit: focus on step-by-step guide, TOML examples, PR workflow
- Add location-based keywords (Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, etc)

Technical SEO:
- Update robots.txt to allow /submit page (was blocked)
- Add /submit to sitemap.xml with priority 0.8
- Create reusable BreadcrumbSchema component
- Maintain existing sitemap revalidation (1 hour)
- Keep Googlebot specific rules for better indexing

Search Engine Features:
- Breadcrumb navigation for better SERP display
- FAQ rich snippets for submit page
- Organization knowledge panel potential
- Search box sitelinks potential
- Enhanced project page snippets

All pages now have:
- Proper breadcrumb navigation
- Optimized meta descriptions
