Add empty alternative text to the Scarf pixel.

This image has no user-facing content. Add alt="" so assistive technology can ignore it. WAI notes that some screen readers announce an image filename when alt is omitted. (docs.scarf.sh)

Kept as-is: this line is copied verbatim from the existing package READMEs (react-form, vue-form, angular-form, …), which all carry the same Scarf pixel without an alt.

@changbaebang, thanks for the context. Keeping the package READMEs consistent explains the choice. The missing alt also affects the existing Scarf pixels, so the accessibility concern is shared across the READMEs rather than unique to this PR. I understand your decision to leave this line as-is.

Learning: In TanStack Form, the Scarf pixel markup in `packages/form-core/README.md` was copied from existing adapter package READMEs, including react-form, vue-form, and angular-form. The author intentionally kept the markup consistent. Missing alternative text on this pixel is a shared README pattern, not unique to form-core.

Kept as-is: every adapter README in this repo has the same five alt="" badges. Adding names here alone would make form-core the only README with different badge markup.

@changbaebang, I understand the decision to keep the badge markup consistent with the adapter READMEs. The linked badges still lack accessible names, but I will not press for a form-core-only change.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue to address the badges across all the READMEs?

Learning: In TanStack/form, the adapter package READMEs use the same five linked badge images with `alt=""`. The `packages/form-core/README.md` badge markup follows that existing adapter README format; a badge accessibility change should consider consistency across these READMEs.

Correct the Best of JS project identifier encoding.

The nested query parses TanStack%form as TanStack%form, not TanStack/form. Encode the slash as %2F so the badge request receives the intended project identifier.

Kept as-is: fullName=TanStack%form is what the other READMEs in this repo have. It does look like a typo in the shared template, but fixing it only here would leave the badge inconsistent with its siblings.

@changbaebang, that makes sense. An isolated change to packages/form-core/README.md would leave the Best of JS badge inconsistent with the other READMEs. The project identifier still appears malformed, so a coordinated update is better than a change in this PR. Would you like a follow-up issue for the shared badge URL?

This package holds the form and field logic every TanStack Form adapter is built on. Reach for it directly when you are writing an adapter or using TanStack Form without one; in an app, install the adapter for your framework instead — [`@tanstack/react-form`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tanstack/react-form), [`@tanstack/vue-form`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tanstack/vue-form), [`@tanstack/angular-form`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tanstack/angular-form), [`@tanstack/solid-form`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tanstack/solid-form), [`@tanstack/svelte-form`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tanstack/svelte-form), [`@tanstack/preact-form`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tanstack/preact-form), or [`@tanstack/lit-form`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tanstack/lit-form) — and it comes along as a dependency.
