Add GitHub star count to site header (#673)

* Add GitHub star count to site header

Fetches star count from GitHub API via /api/github-stars with 5-minute
server-side caching (ISR + stale-while-revalidate). Shows formatted
count (e.g. "2.2k") next to the GitHub link in both desktop nav and
mobile drawer.

* Move star count to separate badge left of download button

GitHub icon + formatted count as its own clickable element in the
right header section, separate from the nav links. Desktop only.

* Center GitHub stars badge vertically in header

* Add right padding to GitHub stars badge
