Requested by Daniel Urumov

Before: the GitHub stars badge from shields.io intermittently rendered invalid (GitHub kept serving the cached broken image), and it sat on the project-links row.

After: the badge is served by badgen.net, which returned the star count on every request (8/8, against 7/8 for shields.io), and it sits on the first badge row next to the release and Hex badges.

How: one README badge, URL changed and moved. The URL change missed #32, which was merged just before it was pushed.

shields.io fetches star counts through a shared GitHub token pool that
intermittently fails, and then renders "invalid", which GitHub's image
cache keeps showing on the README. badgen.net returned the count on every
request in the same test (8/8, against 7/8 for shields.io). The badge
moves to the first row, next to the release and Hex badges.
