ci: refresh README star history chart twice daily

Point the README chart at a committed assets/star-history.svg instead of
the star-history API URL so GitHub serves it directly and bypasses the Camo
proxy cache. A scheduled workflow regenerates the SVG at 06:00/18:00 UTC,
busting star-history's server-side cache, and commits it when it changes.
