Repo Readme Data API

Scrape GitHub Repo Readme data with one API call. Returns the repository's README in raw form (the file contents, not base64-wrapped). The fetcher sets `Accept: application/vnd.github.raw+json` so the response body is the actual file. Useful for content discovery and AI-grounding workflows.
