docs: add a "Why 'Shannon'?" section to the README

Adds a short naming section under "What is Shannon?", directly after
"Why Shannon Exists", and syncs the same text into llms-full.txt.

Frames pentesting as an information problem, which is the actual link to
Claude Shannon, and closes on the "Hey Claude, run Shannon" line.

Actioned from the Aug 21 Shannon 3.0 launch planning session.

### Why "Shannon"?
It's named after Claude Shannon, the father of information theory. At its core, pentesting is an information problem: every probe reduces uncertainty about a system's state. The best tools maximize the signal gained from every request, turning those bits of knowledge into an exploit path.
Also, we wanted you to be able to say, "Hey Claude, run Shannon" to find all the security flaws in your vibe-coded app.
