README "Formally Verified" badge mislabels the Verus toolchain #22

Description

@avrabe

The README carries a flat green Formally_Verified badge, but rules_verus is Bazel plumbing that wires the Verus SMT verifier (verus_library / verus_test, verus-strip) into downstream builds — it carries no proofs about its own code (a verus! / #[verifier search returns nothing).

The generic badge (a) flattens the specific technique (Verus SMT) into a generic verified-checkmark and (b) reads as if this repo is itself formally verified, when it is a prover-integration layer. Your own sibling rules_lean models the honest label: no flat badge, just "building and verifying Lean 4 libraries and proofs." Suggest a technique-named badge (e.g. Verus-SMT) or wording like "wires the Verus verifier," so the claim matches what the repo does.
