docs: drop the Stripe donation link and point support at hardware instead 

The Stripe checkout was registered under a business the project no longer has
any relationship with, so both the link and the paragraph naming that business
are removed rather than relabelled.

The Support section is not deleted, it is reaimed. Cash was never the binding
constraint: the `help wanted` issues are blocked on multi-GPU, 8B+ and Apple
Silicon hardware that a single 4 GB laptop cannot reach, and a run posted from
a bigger box is worth more to those issues than a donation. Stars stay the
cheapest way to help.

FUNDING.yml now points at GitHub Sponsors, which renders nothing until the
account is enrolled - so the button is absent today either way, and enabling
it later needs no further change here.
