Replace the README version badge with Shields' Maven Central API, add the label Maven Central, and make it clickable to net.openhft:compiler. The badge service's migration notice deprecated the Heroku URL and limited its availability to the end of 2025.

Validation on 9 September 2026: rendered the full README with Asciidoctor 2.0.20 without warnings; checked the rendered badge's destination and the POM coordinate. The badge SVG returned HTTP 200 with a version label, and the artifact page returned HTTP 200 for the intended artifact. git diff --check passes. The generated HTML contains the descriptive alternative text and clickable artifact link. The diff remains one README line; Java tests were not rerun for this documentation edit.

…aven.org URLs

- Badge images: maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/<g>/<a>/badge.svg
  -> img.shields.io/maven-central/v/<g>/<a>.svg (Heroku free tier retired).
- Badge/artifact links: maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/<g>/<a>
  -> central.sonatype.com/artifact/<g>/<a>.
- Dead search.maven.org URLs with encoded g:/a: query params collapsed
  to the direct central.sonatype.com/artifact/<g>/<a> page.
