feat: add commands to embed/remove star counts in markdown files

Add two new commands:
- 'Embed star counts in current note': writes star counts (e.g. ⭐ 1.2k)
  directly into the markdown after each GitHub link
- 'Remove embedded star counts from current note': strips them out

Running embed again updates existing counts. This makes star counts
visible to anyone reading the raw markdown outside Obsidian.
