Addition of content from Slack conversation.

Wasn't quite sure where it should go, but fodder for discussion.

Thanks for the ping/reminder here. Just got busy. Will tackle this week, I hope!

Hey @metasim, thanks again for the ping here. So, good news and bad news.

The good news is that I made a couple of commits (dc84384, a31bdcb) on this branch after reviewing this contribution based on our Slack conversation. I basically did copy edits, clarifications, addition of relevant hyperlinks, and so on. You can see the finished result here:

https://github.com/amontalenti/elements-of-python-style/blob/a31bdcbd67b853cbbef6493e53218e5e88253ff9/README.md#standard-tools-and-project-structure

That's the good news. The bad news is, I don't think I'm ready to merge this just yet.

When I incorporated this in and then re-read the style guide, I noticed a couple of things:

1. This section is much wordier than the other sections.
2. Some pieces of this section feel less "timeless" than other sections to me.
3. Some of it seems to veer outside of "style" and feels a bit more like a tutorial on "good tools to use"; I recognize that often which tools to use is a matter of style, so this might be a distinction without difference, but, I'm not sure yet.
4. Arguably the "historical commentary" should be cut altogether, even though it is interesting.

I think you'll also find if you read the style guide top-to-bottom, it isn't clear whether these sections "fit" perfectly just yet. Perhaps I need to take a pass at them to remove words and move them more into the punchy style of the other sections. I also don't love the idea of going on and on for sections at a time without any code examples to "break up the wall of text" (as happens in the top half of the document prior to this addition).

In any case, I'm certain something from this section will make its way into the mainline, I just would like to "sleep on it" a bit. Let me know what you think after reviewing the above link!
