README rewritten from scratch so a newcomer can follow it (closes #154, closes #155)

Browse Source

The old README opened with project history and one list of a hundred
settings. The new one leads with what smallwebwaf is, what it protects
against, how to build and deploy it, what happens to a request, what a
refused visitor and the operator see, and how to check it works. The
settings follow, grouped by topic, each with its default and what a bad
value does. The rest is reference. Every statement was checked against
the code on next. Short sentences, bulleted lists in place of comma
chains, no tables, identifiers in backticks.

Model: fable-5-1
