PQClean (the upstream source for the vendored C implementations) is set to be archived read-only in July 2026 (rustpq#97). Add a short README note so downstream users know that portability/build fixes such as rustpq#98 may need to be tracked in this repository rather than upstream, and where to report them. Also canonicalises the PQClean repository link casing.

I feel like this is over-promising. Realistically, I don't have time to maintain this project anymore with PQClean dying. If PQClean is dead, maintaining this project requires doing the work that PQClean was doing: tracking and cleaning up reference (C) implementations of PQC schemes. And since PQClean is dying because I don't have time anymore, I also can't do that in this project. |

PQClean — the upstream source for the C implementations vendored by these crates — has announced it will be archived read-only in July 2026, and #97 tracks the implications for this project.
This adds a short README note so downstream users know that portability and build-system fixes that previously flowed upstream (e.g. #98) may need to be tracked here going forward, and where to report them. It also canonicalises the PQClean repository link casing.
