What changes

On GitHub, an image that is not inside a link is wrapped in a link to the image file itself, so clicking a README banner opened the raw SVG. Each README image is now inside a link that goes somewhere useful:

• the hero banner at the top of the root README and of the five package READMEs (Channel, Core, Dataflow, MSSqlClient, SqlClient) links to the documentation home page;
• the "How it fits together" diagram in the root README links to the Foundation article, which explains the layers.

Markdown only, so the package READMEs still render on NuGet, where the banner now links to the docs too.

Checks

• GitHub's markdown API (gh api markdown, mode gfm) renders each image directly inside the new link, with no added link to the image file.
• Both link targets return HTTP 200.
• Text only: no code, build or DocFX run.
