Subject: [PATCH] feat(about): add founder backlink to Cherker + fix Person
 schema

- Add "Beyond ExtensionShield" section with clean backlink to cherker.in
  (no nofollow, target=_blank, rel="noopener noreferrer")
- Add Person JSON-LD schema with sameAs (GitHub, LinkedIn)
- Update SEO title/description to surface founder's full name
- Fix H1 to "Stanzin Norzang" for name consistency with title/schema
- Sync routes.jsx seo block with new title/description
- Remove invalid Person.founder property and cherker.in from sameAs
