krishna3324 a355761359 docs: add Punjabi translation link to README (#2020)
* docs: add Punjabi translation link to README

The Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ) translation README.pa.md was added 2 weeks ago but was missing from the translations list in the main README. This adds it to maintain completeness of the translations section.

* Fix Punjabi link formatting in README.md
