Rewrite README.md sentence by sentence for a newcomer
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

Rewrites `README.md` from scratch for
#135. Every statement was checked
against the code on `next` and against what the built binary prints on
small trees under `/var/tmp`. The headings that the code comments cite
are kept.

Where the old text and the repository disagreed, the new text states
what the code does. #140 lists
every such point. Among them: `@latest` installs the newest tagged
release, ten million files in both "Rationale" and "Design", no Windows
excludes, a relative operand is joined to the working directory as `pwd`
prints it, and an operand reached through a symlinked directory below
another operand is dropped (#144).

Dropped from "Constraints": the permission to add `github.com/spf13/viper`
if configuration-file support is ever needed.
