Correct fetch-submission-title-from-url link #129

The functionality for this has moved to title.mihir.ch instead of its previous URL. The extension suddenly asking for permissions to a random domain was alarming and since the new location wasn't specified in the documentation, the only way to make an informed choice about allowing the new permission was to check the source code.

@Tea23 my bad! Thanks for the update to the README, completely skipped my mind.

A short description to alleviate any doubts: I moved from Vercel to Cloudflare Workers with this domain change, since the CF Workers was a much more appropriate choice for a simple serverless function like this, and the egress limits set by Vercel repeatedly caused it to go down. The entire source code of the Worker is in the repo, and no sneaky stuff is happening. Additionally, the domain is now under my control which is arguably better for the long-term. Hope this clarification helps, and thanks once again!
