🎨 Palette: Optimize link accessibility and interactivity in README

[Moohan]

💡 What: Enhanced the README.md by converting static skill icons into a link to skillicons.dev and optimized the accessibility of linked images (stats cards and social badges).

🎯 Why: To improve the interactivity of the profile and provide clearer context on hover for all users, especially those using assistive technology.

📸 Before/After:

• Before: Skill icons were a static image; social/stats badge tooltips only described the image content.
• After: Skill icons now link to skillicons.dev. Tooltips for stats and social badges now describe the destination (e.g., "View James Hayes's Mastodon profile").

♿ Accessibility: Moved title attributes from <img> tags to their surrounding <a> tags for all linked images. This ensures that the context provided on hover or focus correctly describes where the link leads, following web accessibility best practices for linked images.
