This is follow-up from a community call last week, where we discussed the README. The current state of the README is very long and it requires a lot of scanning/scrolling/searching to find what you might be looking for. With the goal of making things easier to adopt for newcomers, I set out to reduce some of the first-view GIANT WALL OF HIGHLY TECHNICAL TEXT impression.

This change pulls out a few larger chunks of the README into their own docs (within the docs subdir). I feel that this separation is natural and should be easier for newcomers to navigate. It also adds table of contents to the main readme and to the new files. In a few places I've tried to add friendly/encouraging language and/or make wording simpler.

It's probably obvious, but if you want to see this in action you can click through to the PR branch.
