docs(readme): make the benchmark chart multi-metric

Grouped bars showing LOC, tokens, cost and time, each as a % of the no-skill
baseline (baseline = 100%, lower is leaner/cheaper/faster), instead of LOC
alone. Makes ponytail's win on every metric visible and shows caveman rising
above 100% on tokens/cost/time. Same system-gray palette so it reads on both
GitHub themes.

The honest measurement is a real agent doing real work: a headless Claude Code session editing [tiangolo's full-stack-fastapi-template](https://github.com/fastapi/full-stack-fastapi-template) (a real FastAPI + React repo), scored on the `git diff` it leaves behind. Twelve feature tickets, the same agent with and without the skill, n=4, Haiku 4.5.
