Two small fixes to the header that #1566 introduced.

The badge row wrapped. Six badges in the for-the-badge style are wider than a typical readme column, so the last one stranded on a second line, which reads as an accident rather than a layout. The licence badge is removed: GitHub already shows the licence as a tab directly above the readme, so it was the one badge carrying nothing the reader did not already have. Five remain and fit.

The tagline had a rule under it. GitHub draws one under h1 and h2, which put a line between the tagline and the guide links for no reason. It becomes an h3 element, which keeps the size without the rule; markdownlint's allow-list gains h3.

docs: N/A — the readme is the change; no documentation page describes it.
