Added new "Online Compilers" section with PlayCode

What this adds:

A new "Online Compilers" section for browser-based JavaScript compilation tools, starting with PlayCode.

Why a new section:

The repository covers transpilers, bundlers, and minimizers (build-time tools), but lacks a category for online JavaScript compilers/runners - tools developers use daily for quick prototyping, testing, and learning. This fills that gap.

About PlayCode:

PlayCode is an online JavaScript compiler used by over 1 million developers. It features:

  • Real-time JavaScript/TypeScript/JSX compilation
  • Live preview with instant feedback
  • npm package support
  • AI coding assistant
  • Multi-file project support

Why it belongs here:

  • Actively maintained since 2017
  • 1M+ monthly active users
  • Featured tool for JavaScript development and learning
  • Runs entirely in the browser (no server-side execution)
  • Free to use

This section could also include other popular online compilers in the future (similar to how "Editors" grew over time).

Added a section for online compilers with PlayCode.

Feels like an unsolicited ad. I'll park this for now, until I find enough time to understand how this addition contributes to the large JavaScript ecosystem.
