add clear comments and improve readability in HTMLProofer script
This commit adds detailed documentation comments and improves the formatting of the HTMLProofer runner script to enhance readability and make the code easier for new contributors to understand. Key improvements: - Added explanatory comments for script purpose and each configuration option - Added section headers to structure the file - Documented URL ignore list and regex patterns - Improved spacing and formatting for clarity - Added `frozen_string_literal: true` for Ruby best practices No functional behavior was changed; the script runs exactly as before. These updates strictly improve maintainability and contributor experience.
