Update documentation to recommend using:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/UPM-NTHC/PH-RoadSafetyIG.git

This prevents cloning the repository’s full history, reducing download size, and reducing collaborative friction.

Closes #52

Add a new "Developer Setup" section to the README with a command for cloning the repository with `--depth 1` to save disk space. The instructions also configure Git to fetch all branches except the large `gh-pages` branch, optimizing the initial clone for developers.
