Overhaul /README.md for a compelling 1.0 release page.

Must include:

- Elevator pitch (1-2 sentences: what dew is, who it's for)
- Feature highlights with brief descriptions (Kanban CLI, TUI, MCP server)
- Installation: `dart pub global activate dew`
- Quick-start walkthrough:
  1. `dew init .`
  2. `dew kanban create --title "My first ticket" --type task`
  3. `dew kanban tui`
- Configuration overview + link to docs/config.md
- Links to full docs (docs/index.md, docs/features/kanban.md, docs/features/mcp.md)
- Badge for pub.dev version + license

Current README is 37 lines and very thin — needs significant expansion.
