Subject: [PATCH] docs: tighten sponsor copy in README, SPONSORSHIP.md, and
 sponsorship page

The sponsor copy bolded two phrases in the README call to action, repeated tier prices already in the tier headings, repeated one phrase across three Content tiers, and had a double "or" in the Duration line.
