feat: redesign the comment footer with website, star and sponsor links

[shenxianpeng]

Requested by Xianpeng · project thread

Before: every thread comment, PR review summary and step summary ended with a plain sentence, "Have any feedback or feature suggestions? Share it here.", which only pointed at the issue tracker.

After: they end with a small, muted footer under a rule that links the website, a Star link for cpp-linter-action, the Open Collective sponsor page and the feedback tracker.

_{✨ Powered by cpp-linter -- ⭐ Star • ❤️ Sponsor • 💬 Feedback}

Full-comment screenshots of both versions are posted in the project thread linked above.

How

Only the USER_OUTREACH constant changes (306 characters, up from 117; the comment-length budget already subtracts it). The footer is pure ASCII (emoji shortcodes and HTML entities) so the existing length-budget math and the escaped-string assertions in the tests keep working unchanged. The sponsor link uses the Open Collective account already listed in cpp-linter/.github/.github/FUNDING.yml. The same text is used in cpp-linter/cpp-linter (cpp_linter/rest_api/__init__.py) so both implementations stay identical; review feedback on cpp-linter/cpp-linter#228 (•, --, emojis inside link text) is applied here too.

Tested locally: cargo fmt --check clean; cargo test -p cpp-linter --all-features for the rest_client unit tests and the comments and reviews integration tests all pass (run with --test-threads=1, which matches nextest isolation).
