Raphael Kabo e0e18fa875 Document the toolchain, build, shell, and bindings
src/README.md covers the one-time toolchain setup (SDK, Arm GCC, cmake,
picotool, pyserial), building with the preset, flashing with picotool,
uploading the Lua OS layer, the shell's command syntax and how to add a
command, the boot escape hatch, and the Lua binding tables.
