Adds a short subsection under the existing Rationale, in the maintainer's voice, saying why the fork was picked up.

The original Rationale is the original author's first-person text, so this goes underneath it and is attributed, rather than edited.

The point it makes is one the README did not: most good terminal editors — kakoune, helix, micro — ship as compiled binaries, so on a locked-down or shared host you get whatever was installed for you. Suplemon installs anywhere Python 3 runs. That is a real distinguishing feature and it was not stated anywhere.

README is the PyPI long_description, so python -m build and twine check were run: both distributions PASSED. The ne link returns 200.

The Rationale section is the original author's, in his voice, so this
goes underneath it rather than replacing it. Records the actual reason
the fork was picked up: a shared FreeBSD account with nano and Python 3
on it, and no way to install a compiled editor.
