103913305b README+Meta: Update the screenshot :^)
Recreating the previous screenshot in a current build of the system will
show many, usually subtle, changes in comparison.

This patch adds a new screenshot of the SerenityOS desktop with
Terminal, File Manager, System Monitor and Ladybird visible.

0a63e543b7 README: Add a jump section for easy access to documentation
The link to documentation is buried near the bottom of the README,
and most people don't realize that we have documentation within the
repository because of this. This commit adds handy links that take you
to the appropriate parts of the README, which should improve
discoverability by a lot. The idea is inspired by other repositories
having a similar "common links" area at the top of their READMEs.

659a7a5da7 Meta: Completely overhaul the README
The README was getting a bit outdated in places, and it didn't have its
priorities straight (libc uwu, also we have browser no big deal). These
changes are largely based on what was discussed among major contributors
and maintainers, though I put in some extra stuff I'm bothered by.

The start of README is unchanged. The project blurb is probably its best
part, both then and now, so it definitely stays. The FAQ is moved up
under the About section because it's easier to find that way and makes
more sense logically.

The Features section is a highly compressed version of the previous
several features sections. Priorities are a big focus here: List what
matters to a reader, what they will likely care about, what's impressive
to them and what's probably not. The list therefore starts with the
factual basics about the Kernel followed directly by Browser+LibJS, the
probably biggest userland feat in this project. Then, we pedal back and
talk about OS basics, like security, POSIX, services, libraries,
devtools. We finish out by addressing the end user concerns
(customization, UI apps, multimedia & file format support), which
includes a bunch of things previously underrepresented. I think it's
rather important that Serenity has a unified style and UX philosophy, so
this should definitely be mentioned :^) At the end, I think it's very
important to state the NIH philosophy, but also the fact that there are
more than two hundred (!) ports.

Documentation section is slightly expanded to mention the Documentation
folder which doesn't really appear anywhere in the previous version.

Build instructions include a simple mention of the fact that Serenity
runs on almost anything. It's good to not scare off Windows users :^))
(self-deprecating humour overload)

The Get in Touch section and the issues section are combined into one
"how do i talk to u help" section that contains the same information but
includes a general link to CONTRIBUTING.

The Contributors section is now one big list of 100+ commit people.
Also, the GitHub contributor list is linked, as that lists over 30
additional people IIRC + detailed statistics.

52e9f25403 Everywhere: Change from http to https where feasible
I used "git grep -FIn http://" to find all occurrences, and looked at
each one. If an occurrence was really just a link, and if a https
version exists, and if our Browser can access it at least as well as the
http version, then I changed the occurrence to https.

I'm happy to report that I didn't run into a single site where Browser
can't deal with the https version.

c915174563 Userland: Remove IRC Client
The IRC Client application made some sense while our main communication
hub was an IRC channel. Now that we've moved on, IRC is just a random
protocol with no particular relevance to this project.

This also has the benefit of removing one major client of the single-
process Web::InProcessWebView class.
