Subject: [PATCH] feat: surface ScrapeGraphAI as a visible partner

Replaces the hidden sponsor backlink in Hero with a visible Partners
section in About, linking to scrapegraphai.com. The cloaked link
(opacity 0, width 0) was removed since hidden backlinks can be
penalized by search engines and don't provide real value to the partner.
