Summary by cubic

Removed the Hopper Security sponsor block from the README and replaced it with a single “💜 Become a sponsor” link to Open Collective to simplify and neutralize the sponsor section.

Description

• Summary of changes
  • Removed vendor-specific sponsor content and image.
  • Added one link to https://opencollective.com/axios/contribute.
• Reasoning
  • Sponsor relationship ended and we want an evergreen sponsor CTA.
• Additional context
  • README-only change; no code or build impact.

Docs

If the docs mention specific sponsors, update the sponsorship/support page in /docs/ to point to the Open Collective link and remove vendor-specific references.

Testing

No tests changed. None needed for a README-only update.

Semantic version impact

No impact on runtime or API. No release required; if included in a release, classify as a patch (docs-only).
