docs(readme): ClojureWasm is no longer maintained
Replaces the "stable and released regularly / Issues and PRs are open" note, which was doubly wrong: Issues and PRs have been disabled for essentially the whole life of the project (deliberately — Discussions is the one channel), and the project is now stopping. A from-scratch Clojure runtime is more than one person can sustain. The notice says so plainly, points at EPL-2.0 for anyone who wants to fork, sets the expectation that Discussions may go unanswered, and records what the project showed (one small static binary with a Wasm FFI) and what was hardest (JVM-Clojure compatibility, Java interop above all, and performance). The GitHub Sponsors badge, the README footer sponsorship line, and .github/FUNDING.yml are removed: soliciting sponsorship for a project that is not being maintained would be wrong. The maintainer's own Sponsors account is unaffected — other work continues.
