CI / test (pull_request) Failing after 2m13s
docs: comprehensive documentation for ExploreDNS
- Rewrite README.md with overview, features, installation (go install +
  build from source), quick start, full CLI flag reference table,
  output section descriptions, project structure, and development guide

- Add package-level doc comments to all five internal packages:
  config, dns, fingerprint, output, traverse (via doc.go or existing
  package-declaration files)

- Add GoDoc comments on every exported type, constant, function, and
  method across all packages:
  - internal/config: Config struct fields, all Parse*/Default/Validate
  - internal/dns: QueryConfig, Resolver, BasicResolver, CachingResolver,
    ExchangeFunc, RootServer, RootDiscoveryConfig, DecodedResponse,
    ResponseClassification, all exported helpers
  - internal/fingerprint: Fingerprinter, New, NewWithTimeout, Query,
    FingerprintAll
  - internal/traverse: Traverser, TraverserConfig, TraversalResult,
    Referral, ResolutionState, Response, ResponseType, InfoCache,
    Stack, TraverserHooks, EventStage, TraversalEvent, EventHandler,
    CircularReferralError, UnresolvableNameserverError
  - internal/output: Format, Config, Formatter, SummaryStats,
    NewFormatter, AttachHooks, RunTraversal, DefaultConfig,
    ComputeSummary
