docs: restore the donation link alongside the hardware ask 

Reverts b060c99 on the funding side. The Stripe checkout is live again and is
the same one the site links from /support, so the two surfaces no longer
disagree about whether Soup accepts money.

The MePlay, Inc. disclosure comes back with it and is not optional: Stripe
charges under that name, not "Soup", so a donor who is not told beforehand sees
a company that appears nowhere else in the project and reasonably reads it as
the wrong checkout.

The hardware paragraph b060c99 added stays. It was the better half of that
commit and it is not in tension with the link - money and a run posted from a
bigger box move the same `help wanted` issues, so both are offered instead of
one replacing the other. Trimmed only where it repeated the sentence above it.

FUNDING.yml returns to `custom:` with `github:` commented out, since the
Sponsors account is still not enrolled and an enabled key there renders nothing.
