add more context on the README (#9871)
the thesis is still the defining document with all the motivation and
explanations.
adding it here for greater visibility.

also more emphasis and clarity around the community aspect.
the hydra build job seems a bit arbitrary right there. may be better for
the contributing guide.

8e25450ff4 refer to nix.dev for installation instructions
there are currently multiple places with installation instructions that
all have to be updated when a change to any of them is accepted.

this reduces the number of places by one, and directs beginners to the
maintained and curated resource for Nix learning materials.

  with it in the beginning.
- Use proper "Note" syntax
- Add notes about editor integration
- Move information about target platforms and stdenvs into separate
  sections

Fix link to hacking doc
Right now,
https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nix/master/build.x86_64-linux/latest/download-by-type/doc/manual/contributing/hacking.html
redirects to
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/183877779/download/1/manual/contributing/hacking.html,
which gives me a "500 Internal Server Error". Not super useful =(

Feel free to ignore if someone's working to fix the 500 I was running
into.
