README: document sp_Blitz Azure SQL Database support
Add an Azure SQL DB support paragraph to the sp_Blitz section noting that the proc now runs on Azure SQL Database and summarizing which check categories are skipped, plus the email / linked-server output caveats. Leaves the overall kit-level line 47 disclaimer alone since this PR only adds targeted support to sp_Blitz. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

**Azure SQL DB support:** sp_Blitz runs on Azure SQL Database (`SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition') = 5`) and skips ~40 checks that rely on things Azure SQL DB does not expose: backup history in msdb, SQL Agent jobs and alerts, `xp_*` extended procs (drive space, error log, registry reads), `sys.master_files`, `sp_validatelogins`, cross-database DBCC commands, linked servers, and database mirroring / AGs. When sp_Blitz detects Azure SQL DB, a CheckID 223 "Some Checks Skipped" informational row is returned so you know coverage is reduced. Email output via `@EmailRecipients` (Database Mail is unavailable) and remote output via `@OutputServerName` (no linked servers) are also not supported on Azure SQL DB - sp_Blitz prints a not-supported message and continues instead of erroring. Managed Instance (`EngineEdition = 8`) and Amazon RDS are unaffected and continue to use their existing code paths.
