README: soften 'Kensler designed for 1337' claim to an observation

Browse source 
The previous wording asserted design intent ('Kensler golfed [...] until
it hit the magic number', 'every typedef exists to land on 1337') without
a primary source. CLAUDE.md requires factual claims in committed artifacts
to be checked. The byte count is verified; intent is not. Rephrased to
note the observation ('suspiciously round', 'rarely lands by accident')
without claiming insight into the design process, and the obfuscation
breakdown is kept since the techniques are visible in the code itself.
