In `README.md`, some lines were hard wrapped where others were not, there was some trailing whitespace, and some list items were terminated with a period where some were not. Let's clean these things up by hard wrapping all lines, cleaning up the whitespace, and terminating all list items with periods.
We spent a lot of text in the README describing how to use the nightly Rust compiler with this project. Let's instead add a `rust-toolchain.toml` file so that the nightly compiler is used automatically, and let's redraft the README in that light. With this revision, we'll add a section on installing dependencies in which we'll describe how to ensure that the nightly compiler is installed and up to date and how to install `mdbook`. When describing how to clone the project, we'll suggest that people clone the URL ending in `.git`. This is what GitHub recommends, and it removes a level of redirection which sometimes matters. For people who want to download a ZIP file rather than using `git`, we'll provide a direct link rather than simply referencing the GitHub page. When describing how to build the book, we'll suggesting passing `--open` to `mdbook`, as this is usually what people will want, and it will save a step. Along with these changes, we include some general copyediting.
