feat: migrate GitHub stars fetch to TanStack Query

Replace the manual useEffect + fetch in NavbarGitHubStars with
useQuery from @tanstack/react-query. This gives the component
caching, request deduplication, automatic retries, and devtools
visibility for free.

The useLatestRelease hook referenced in the issue has already been
removed from hero-section.tsx, so only the stars badge needed
migration.

Closes #1198
