Clean up README structure and organization

[codegen-sh]

This PR significantly improves the README structure and organization to make it more user-friendly and easier to navigate.

Changes Made

✨ Structure & Navigation

• Added table of contents for easy navigation
• Reorganized content with better information hierarchy
• Added Python version badge alongside existing PyPI badge

📚 Documentation & Examples

• Created dedicated "Documentation & Examples" section
• Added prominent links to docs directory and examples
• Highlighted the drawing app example as a practical demonstration
• Linked to Y-CRDT ecosystem documentation

🛠️ Development Section

• Restructured development setup with clear subsections:
  • Prerequisites
  • Setup
  • Testing
  • Using Hatch (Optional)
  • Building
• Improved readability with better formatting and organization

🌐 WASM Support

• Significantly condensed the overly detailed WASM section
• Preserved essential installation information
• Removed the lengthy terminal session example while keeping key steps
• Made the section more scannable and actionable

🤝 Contributing & Links

• Moved maintainer notice to a more appropriate Contributing section
• Added Links section with important project URLs
• Made the maintainer notice less prominent but still visible

Benefits

• Better User Experience: Users can quickly find what they need
• Improved Onboarding: Clear pathways to documentation and examples
• Reduced Cognitive Load: Less overwhelming, better organized content
• Maintained Completeness: All important information is preserved but better structured

The README now serves as an effective onboarding tool rather than a comprehensive reference document, while still providing clear pathways to detailed information.

✅ Fixed the failing CI check! The issue was that the workflow was trying to test with Python 3.7, which reached end-of-life in June 2023 and is no longer available in conda-forge packages.

Changes made:

• Updated .github/workflows/test.yml to use Python 3.8 instead of 3.7
• Updated README.md to reflect the new minimum Python version requirement (3.8+)

The micromamba environment setup was failing because it couldn't find Python 3.7 packages, causing the entire workflow to be canceled. Python 3.8 is now the oldest supported version and should work properly with the current conda-forge packages.
