Add page count estimator for fast config validation

- Add estimate_pages.py script (~270 lines)
- Fast estimation without downloading content (HEAD requests only)
- Shows estimated total pages and recommended max_pages
- Validates URL patterns work correctly
- Estimates scraping time based on rate_limit
- Update CLAUDE.md with estimator workflow and commands
- Update README.md features section with estimation benefits
- Usage: python3 estimate_pages.py configs/react.json
- Time: 1-2 minutes vs 20-40 minutes for full scrape

+### Estimate Page Count (Before Scraping)
+
+```bash
+# Quick estimation - discover up to 100 pages
+python3 estimate_pages.py configs/react.json --max-discovery 100
+# Time: ~30-60 seconds
+
+# Full estimation - discover up to 1000 pages (default)
+python3 estimate_pages.py configs/godot.json
+# Time: ~1-2 minutes
+
+# Deep estimation - discover up to 2000 pages
+python3 estimate_pages.py configs/vue.json --max-discovery 2000
+# Time: ~3-5 minutes
+
+# What it shows:
+# - Estimated total pages
+# - Recommended max_pages value
+# - Estimated scraping time
+# - Discovery rate (pages/sec)
+```
+
+**Why use estimation:**
+- Validates config URL patterns before full scrape
+- Helps set optimal `max_pages` value
+- Estimates total scraping time
+- Fast (only HEAD requests + minimal parsing)
+- No data downloaded or stored
+
