Reformat README with professional structure and better formatting

[Copilot]

Overview

This PR addresses the request to reformat the README file with better looks and professional structure. The previous README contained only basic GitHub repository setup instructions, which has been replaced with comprehensive, well-organized documentation.

Changes Made

The readme.md file has been completely restructured and expanded from 13 lines to 163 lines with the following improvements:

Professional Structure

• Clear Title and Description: Added project title with a concise description explaining the integration of Spring Boot, Kafka, and PostgreSQL
• Table of Contents: Added navigable sections with emoji icons for visual appeal
• Organized Sections: Structured into logical sections (Overview, Features, Tech Stack, Prerequisites, Installation, Configuration, Running, API Documentation, Architecture, Contributing, License)

Enhanced Visual Appeal

• Emoji Icons: Used contextual emojis (📋, 🎯, ✨, 🛠, 📦, 🚀, ⚙️, 🏃, 📚, 🏗, 🤝, 📄) to make sections easy to identify
• Code Blocks: Added syntax-highlighted code blocks for bash commands and configuration examples
• ASCII Diagram: Included architecture diagram showing the relationship between Client, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and Kafka
• Bold Emphasis: Used bold text to highlight important terms and concepts

Comprehensive Content

• Installation Instructions: Step-by-step setup guide supporting both Maven and Gradle
• Configuration Examples: Sample configuration for PostgreSQL and Kafka connections
• Running Instructions: Clear commands to start the application
• API Documentation: Example endpoints and links to Swagger UI
• Architecture Overview: Visual diagram and description of key components
• Contributing Guidelines: Standard workflow for contributors
• Professional Footer: Attribution and licensing information

Before vs After

Before: Basic Git setup instructions that don't describe the project

…or create a new repository on the command line
echo "# springboot-kafka-postgres" >> README.md
git init
...

After: Professional, comprehensive documentation with:

• Clear project description and purpose
• Complete setup and installation guide
• Architecture documentation with visual diagram
• API documentation and usage examples
• Contributing guidelines

This README now provides everything a developer needs to understand, set up, and contribute to the project.
