Adds readable-resume, a one-page resume format built on Typst.

The design is the Classic template from ReadableResume, a resume template site I run, where it's offered for Google Docs and Word. Serif type, centered section headings over a thin rule, one column with no tables or icons, so the text comes out of the PDF in reading order, which is what applicant tracking systems parse. It's a plainer style than awesomecv-typst, closer to what university career offices hand out.

The extension is two Typst partials plus a short Lua filter that turns entry divs like ::: {.experience company="..."} into Typst function calls. No network or file access. It's MIT licensed, and the README has quarto use template and quarto add commands and a usage example. Tested with Quarto 1.10.19 and 1.7.34 (1.7 is the minimum because the template needs Typst 0.12 or later).

The author link goes to readableresume.com rather than my GitHub profile, since that's where the design comes from. If you'd rather keep author links pointing to GitHub, I'll change it to https://github.com/supertj.
