fix(website): rewrite the ecosystem band, drop two false coverage links
The band led with three sentences of hedging and printed a commit count next to each employer, so a one-commit entry beside a large name read as weakness rather than as the modest, true claim it was. It now opens on the contributor count, sets the employers as a sentence instead of a pill wall, and keeps the caveat to one line. The counts stay in ecosystem.yaml, since they are the provenance for the list and anyone re-checking it needs them. Two "coverage" cards were not about this project. The modelslab.com piece reviews Frikallo/parakeet.cpp, an unrelated project of the same name, and the snailtext.app benchmark measures Parakeet through ONNX Runtime without mentioning LocalAI at all. Both are removed, along with the contributor card that duplicated the band's opening line. Press was four posts from one vendor, which read as the whole of the coverage rather than one enthusiastic outlet. SUSE collapses to a single series entry, and Pulumi, Semaphore and Spectro Cloud join it. Each was opened and checked against the project before being added. K8sGPT and LlamaIndex join the integrations; both document LocalAI as a backend. The quotes move above the lists so the section opens on its strongest line, which is somebody else's. The hero gains a GitHub call to action, the APEX collection link was returning 404 and is corrected, and the footer no longer describes the site as a design mock.
