Previously, relative .md links in READMEs would resolve to jsdelivr CDN (which returns raw markdown text) or raw GitHub URLs. This caused 404s for files not in the npm tarball and poor UX for files that exist. Changes: - Add getBlobBaseUrl to all git provider configs - Add blobBaseUrl to RepositoryInfo interface - Update resolveUrl to use blob URLs for .md files (so they render) - Leave .md links unchanged if no repo info (matches npm behavior) This allows users to navigate to other documentation files and see them rendered properly on the source repository. Fixes npmx-dev#617

Summary
Resolves relative markdown (.md) links in READMEs to the source repository's blob URLs instead of raw URLs or jsdelivr CDN.
Problem
As reported in #617, relative links to other markdown files in READMEs were resolving incorrectly:
Example from issue:
\
Link in README: ./docs/03-customization/README.md
Was resolving to: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/robindoc/docs/03-customization/README.md (404)
Should resolve to: https://github.com/robindoc/robindoc/blob/HEAD/docs/03-customization/README.md
\\
Solution
Added \getBlobBaseUrl\ to all git providers - Returns the base URL for viewing rendered files (e.g., /blob/\ for GitHub, /src/\ for Gitea/Codeberg, /-/blob/\ for GitLab)
Updated \RepositoryInfo\ interface - Now includes \�lobBaseUrl\ alongside
awBaseUrl\
Modified
esolveUrl\ logic for .md\ files:
Supported Providers
GitHub, GitLab (including self-hosted), Bitbucket, Codeberg, Gitee, Sourcehut, Tangled, Radicle, Forgejo, Gitea
Fixes #617
