Remove some badges documentation. Badges have been removed from crates.io, so this updates the documentation. I don't think Cargo should manage a schema for the different services, and since crates.io isn't using these, I think it is mostly a dead feature. I left the `maintenance` field, because that might still have some meaning in the future. More details: * Removal from crates.io: rust-lang/crates.io#2436 rust-lang/crates.io#2440 * Solicited feedback for this change: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/cargo-badges/12982 * Potential future support of `maintenance` status: rust-lang/crates.io#2437 rust-lang/crates.io#2438 rust-lang/crates.io#2439. It's not clear, if crates.io manages the status in the database, the motivation for putting it in `Cargo.toml` is probably pretty small.

Related to #2436 and #2437, we want to offer crate owners the option to add a badge to their README files that reflects the current maintenance status.
We currently use https://shields.io/ to display the maintenance status badge and the service seems stable enough for now to keep using it. I would propose adding an API endpoint that reads the maintenance status for the selected crate from the API, and then redirects to the corresponding shields.io URL like:
https://img.shields.io/badge/maintenance-actively--developed-brightgreen.svg
