The Iris README.md that is displayed on the GitHub landing page https://github.com/SciTools/iris has been pruned down to the minimal needed. That being the logo, some badges, the headline description of Iris and a link to the documentation.

This minimal approach removes some duplication to make it easier to manage.

Also updated the headline for Iris to be Python package instead of Python library

A separate PR will be created to update the Iris headline on https://scitools.org.uk/

@tkknight Lovely, akin to the dask README.md. Minimalist works for me.

Particularly as I'm keen that we don't have the same information in multiple places, otherwise it's a maintenance overhead... with the high potential to go stale or out of sync. I like the one stop shop approach to directing everyone to the documentation instead. Makes total sense to me 👍

Also, the License is highlighted by GitHub in the iris repo About section, in the RHS gutter... so that's fine by me too.
