Applies a shared README structure used across all nine authorTom
project repositories, so someone arriving from one recognises the shape of
the next.

Canonical section order:

Name -> bold one-sentence pitch -> hero screenshot

Why it exists the argument: what you did before and why it hurt

What it does features

Run it ### With Docker (recommended) / ### From source

Configuration a table of runtime variables, and what is UI-only instead

How it's built layout and the decisions worth knowing

Security where the project handles accounts or data

Backing up where there is state worth losing

Licence always last, always spelled this way

Also standardised: British English throughout, sentence-case headings with
no emoji, no shields.io badges or centred divs, Docker before source in
every quick start (the previous order varied), and alt text that describes
what is in each screenshot rather than saying "screenshot".

Content is preserved rather than rewritten -- this reorganises and
normalises the existing material.

Drops the three shields.io badges and the emoji from every heading. Moves
the screenshot table up to sit directly under the pitch. Keeps the
comparison table and the "What SimHub is not (yet)" section intact -- the
latter is the most trustworthy paragraph in the file.


Part of a nine-repo pass to make the READMEs consistent. Nothing outside the README (and, where noted, a missing LICENSE) is touched.
