What

Adds the sparse (packed) histogram to the README's list of supported features. It is a four-line bullet; nothing else changes.

Why

hdr_packed_histogram has been in the library since #150 and ships in 0.12.0, but the README's feature list stopped at the dense histogram, the iterators, the log format and the interval recorder, so a reader of the README would not know it exists.

The wording only repeats what include/hdr/hdr_packed_histogram.h promises: a separate type whose storage grows with the number of populated buckets, counts kept in 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes, slower recording than the dense histogram, no atomic recording, and the standard compressed serialisation.

Docs only.
