Link to Ferrum rather than outdated HTML to PDF generators #1370

Hi Greg! Any reason the other libs removed? |

I think it'd be fine to keep the links but I don't know who is vouching for them at this point, as those recommendations are a decade old. It looks like the flying_saucer gem hasn't had a release in 14 years. Wicked PDF I thought was in a similar state but maybe that's wrong as I do see a 2024 update for that one. However the underlying tool it uses (wkhtmltopdf) is archived as of Jan 2023. No major concerns here one way or the other, just realized from a convo on Bluesky how out of date this part of the README is, and wanted to drop a note calling attention to that in the form of a PR :) |

Yeah, sure. Just wanted some context. Thanks. Nice to see you around. |

I got a chuckle out of "First-time contributor" label on this PR. |

Well they say documentation patches are a great first time contribution to OSS so.... thank you for your prompt acceptance 😆 |
I've never actually used this library myself but I've seen it consistently come up as the current HTML to PDF option that people prefer, and I believe it has no dependencies other than Chrome.
