This PR adds 80 verified UK public sector GitHub organisations —
representing 4,095 public repositories — to U.K. Central and
U.K. Councils, identified through systematic search of the GitHub
API and cross-referenced against .gov.uk domains and official
organisation descriptions.

Note: Planning-Inspectorate was removed from this PR as it is already covered by #1319.

All organisations were verified to exist as GitHub organisations at
time of submission.

Happy to follow this up with a subsequent PR that breaks the UK
sections into a finer-grained taxonomy — for example separating out
NHS trusts & ICBs, devolved administrations, arm's length bodies,
fire & rescue services, and research councils into their own named
sections, if that would be useful to the maintainers.

Expands UK coverage across U.K. Central and U.K. Councils with
organisations identified through systematic GitHub API research.
