docs: Update README for the repository itself r/1669

Adds a lot more information about what is actually going on here, as
well as links to relevant things such as our Monorepo document.

I'm aware that I didn't make all `//...` links clickable, but I
realised at some point that it might be easier to just update cheddar
to support highlighting those natively :-)
