Split old README into Overview, Advanced Installation Options, and Contributor Setup.
The Nix and Devenv setup is a little advanced to be on the main README, so, moved to a separate file and linked.
Added Features, Use Cases, Demos, Quickstarts to README

I think it looks good! Let's ship it. Also a reminder that we need to document the dbt stuff in docs.tower.dev.

I only had a read through the readme.md file, and while I think moving some of the things like how to develop into their own doc are fine, I would highly suggest to remove any Tower marketing sounding stuff from the readme (e.g. "what Tower gives you"). When I look at readmes for tools, while I accept a little bit of non-dev fluff from a tool that's created/maintained by a SaaS company, it's a huge turn off to be sold the product when I just want to know how to use your tool, since I've likely already looked at your website and have a general understanding of the product/tool and just want to use it.
