Write a README for the project template

I think this needs to happen by RC. Otherwise people will download a release-candidate zip file, unzip it, and not know what to do next.

Assigning to @eojthebrave as one of the documentation track leads, but I'm guessing I'll be consulted on what the setup procedure is.

I added some changes with my initial thoughts on what a more complete README should contain.

My biggest question is regarding the content about using `composer launch` and whether we want to include that at all? Personally, I think we should recommend DDEV in the README and then maybe provide a link to other options. I think limiting the number of choices, and therefore decisions, someone has to make to get started will help make it easier for most people.

I'm completely okay with removing composer launch. It assumes you have a PHP interpreter available, but it uses PHP's built-in web server along with SQLite, so it's actually a pretty quick way to get going.

But, if the product owner is on board with removing it, I'm not married to keeping it.

Assigning to Pam for reviewing this proposed README, and making a decision on whether to keep composer launch or jettison it.

This is great, thanks @eojthebrave!

Happy to remove composer launch in the name of simplicity. Also added some suggestions/edits.

I guess this is back to @eojthebrave?

Also, as per Pam's feedback, go ahead and rip out composer launch. Rest in peace!

I like it. Over to you, Pam!

Build is failing because this is extremely out of date with HEAD (still using Drupal 10)! That needs to be fixed. Reassigning to @eojthebrave.

And back to Pam, for the first time, for the last time.

I made some more minor changes, I think it needs a revisit post-RC and pre-release, for one thing the part about creating a site only with the browser will only be true once we have a trial experience, otherwise you need DDEV as explained below.

But don't want to hold it up any longer. I will create a follow up.

Thanks for working on this, y'all. I like what you came up with. It'll need a revisit, that's true, but at least now people who extract the zip file will have some kind of instructions to go on. Merged into 0.x.
