Subject: [PATCH] docs(marketing): track Cheaper Inference link clicks via
 ?utm_source=omniroute (#9258)

Adds the `?utm_source=omniroute` tracking parameter to every public-facing URL where Cheaper Inference is clickable.

- README: the two `<a href>` targets in the Open Source Friends table row (logo + "Get an API key" CTA)
- `gateways.ts`: the `website` field and the `apiHint` text

Not changed on purpose: `api.cheaperinference.com/*` endpoints (technical, not clicks), JSDoc mentions (descriptive text), and the `<sub>cheaperinference.com</sub>` label under the logo (plain text, not a link).

       Thanks to <b>Cheaper Inference</b>, an OmniRoute Open Source Friend, for backing this project! Cheaper Inference is a cost-ranked gateway that resells 42 frontier models — Claude, GPT-5.x, Gemini, Kimi K3, GLM, DeepSeek, Grok and MiniMax — behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, routing each request to the cheapest eligible provider without ever charging above the model maker's list price.
