Adds one paragraph to the fork notice in the README.

The notice said what this fork changed but not why it exists as a fork rather than a branch. Upstream's last commit is 2021-12-29. The PRs open against it go back to 2020, and two are directly relevant:

Worth stating because the repo page reads "14 commits behind tech-software/TDSProxy:master", which looks like a backlog and is not one. Fourteen is upstream's entire history, counted as missing because the squashed history here shares no merge base with it:

$ git merge-base origin/main upstream/master
  → NO MERGE BASE — unrelated histories

GitHub would report the same number if the two trees were byte-identical. Verified separately that the squash captured upstream's tip rather than an older state: TDSListener.cs here contains the accept-loop fix from upstream's final commit and extends well past it.

The fork notice said what this fork changed but not why it exists as a fork
rather than a branch. Upstream's last commit is 2021-12-29; the pull requests
open against it go back to 2020, and two of them are directly relevant — one
proposes the same .NET Core migration this fork carried out, and one bumps
log4net for the advisory this repository has already patched.

Worth stating explicitly because the repository page says "14 commits behind
tech-software/TDSProxy:master", which reads as a backlog and is not one: that
is upstream's entire history, counted as missing because the squashed history
here shares no merge base with it. GitHub would report the same number if the
two trees were identical.
