README has not been updated in years - it's stale by now. For example @bucanero you may confirm if the Python requirement mentioned here is outdated, given you've worked on new scripts to replace it recently.

Rather than just commit this one edit, I opened this as a PR to review it and so we can then cleanly update it in one squashed merge.

README overhauled. Read the latest commit's details for a summary.

- "Current Status" was out of date, and its underlying model is wrong. Several of the claims listed are stale - hostname lookup is not actually "missing", the filesystem header has moved to `ppu/include`, and so on.

PSL1GHT has lots of legacy code, and much of it has not been tested in years; it will be impossible to give an honest status until the SDK matures and settles post-modernisation and likely until more maintainers are on-board. Instead, it's been reframed to point towards a live source of documentation (DeepWiki) and not try to give a broad but untested feature overview.
- Credits moved to the end to focus on repository status.
- Change wording surrounding the PS3 toolchain (eg. "at the moment only one toolchain does so") to more accurately reflect current PS3DEV.
- Remove old claim that Python 2.x is required for `fself.py`, `sfo.py` and `pkg.py`. These have since been refactored into C/C++.
- add `sh` to the markdown code blocks and add backticks where missing
- fix http://github.com to https
- tighten some phrasing
- add link to contributors graph
