Erdi b46bbbf5f1 Remove GitHub Models ahead of its retirement

GitHub Models is being fully retired on July 30, 2026 -- the playground,
model catalogue, inference API and BYOK endpoints all go away, and it has
already been closed to new customers since June 16, 2026. It is no longer
a free API anyone can sign up for, so it does not belong in this list.

Removes the section, the fetch_github_models scraper and its wiring.

Reimplements #347 in src/pull_available_models.py: the original patch
edited the generated README.md directly, so the next scheduled run would
have reverted it.
