Adds a new section about Vale, a syntax-aware prose linter for documentation and markdown files.

The new section:

  • Explains what Vale is and its benefits for maintaining documentation consistency
  • Provides installation instructions for macOS
  • Shows basic usage examples for linting files and directories
  • Mentions configuration via .vale.ini
  • Highlights pre-commit integration and GitHub Workflow options
  • Follows the same style as existing Jupytext, Ruff, and Markdownlint sections
  • Positioned in the "Formatting and Linting" section after Markdownlint for thematic consistency
