Revamp README (#513)

* Revampt README

Users are now deferred to Bitcoin-S.org for instructions
on how to use the library. Added a logo that'll hopefully
appear in social media sharing posts.

* Remove IRC, add Maven Central badge to README

# Bitcoin-S
Feature rich toolkit for making Bitcoin and Lightning applications
on the JVM.
## Design Principles
- Immutable data structures everywhere
- [Algebraic Data Types](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_data_type) to allow the compiler to check for exhaustiveness on match statements
- Using [property based testing](http://www.scalatest.org/user_guide/property_based_testing) to test robustness of code
- Minimize dependencies to reduce attack surface
## Projects
1. `core` - this is where protocol data structures live, like [Transactions](core/src/main/scala/org/bitcoins/core/protocol/transaction/Transaction.scala), [Blocks](core/src/main/scala/org/bitcoins/core/protocol/blockchain/Block.scala), or [PrivateKeys](core/src/main/scala/org/bitcoins/core/crypto/ECKey.scala). For more info read [`core/README.md`](core/README.md)
2. `core-test` - this is where all test cases for the `core` project live
3. `bitcoind-rpc` - this is a RPC client implementation for `bitcoind`. For more info read [`bitcoind-rpc/README.md`](bitcoind-rpc/README.md)
4. `bitcoind-rpc-test` - this is where all test cases for the `bitcoind-rpc` project live
5. `eclair-rpc` - this is a RPC client implementation for [Eclair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_data_type), which is a Lightning Network implementation. For more information please read [`eclair-rpc/README.md`](eclair-rpc/README.md)
6. `eclair-rpc-test` - this is where all test cases for the `eclair-rpc` project live
7. `bench` - benchmarks for Bitcoin-S. For more information please read [`bench/README.md`](bench/README.md)
8. `testkit` - This is a useful testkit for testing Bitcoin related applications. You can spin up Bitcoin and Lightning nodes arbitrarily and set them in specific states. For more information please read [`testkit/README.md`](testkit/README.md)
9. `zmq` - `bitcoind` has a setting that publishes information about the state of the network over ZMQ. This project implements a subscriber that allows you to read and parse that information. For more information see [`zmq/README.md`](zmq/README.md) as well as the official [Bitcoin Core ZMQ documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/zmq.md)
10. `secp256k1jni` - JNI (Java Native Interface) for [secp256k1](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1), a optimized C library for EC operations on curve secp256k1. It has support for a wide range of cryptographic operations used in the Bitcoin protocol. Fore more information please read [`secp256k1jni/README.md`](secp256k1jni/README.md)
## REPL
In any given sub project, it's possible to open a REPL session. This session has both main and test sources from Bitcoin-S available, as well as all dependencies for the given sub project. To do this:
```scala
// core project
$ sbt coreTest/test:run // we do coreTest instead of core to have all test sources available
// this works as well
$ sbt
> project coreTest
> amm
...

Welcome to the Ammonite Repl 1.6.2
(Scala 2.12.7 Java 1.8.0_191)
If you like Ammonite, please support our development at www.patreon.com/lihaoyi
@ import org.bitcoins.core.protocol.ln.currency.MilliSatoshis
import org.bitcoins.core.protocol.ln.currency.MilliSatoshis
@ MilliSatoshis(100)
res1: MilliSatoshis = MilliSatoshisImpl(100)
// Bitcoind RPC project
$ sbt bitcoindRpcTest/test:run
// this works as well
$ sbt
> project bitcoindRpcTest
> amm
// Similarly for other projects
```
## Artifacts
You need to add the Bitcoin-S Bintray to your resolvers to be able to access published artifacts.
### sbt
With sbt, this can be done like this:
```scala
resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("bitcoin-s", "bitcoin-s-core"),
```
Now you should be able to add Bitcoin-S artifacts like this:
```scala
"org.bitcoins" % "bitcoin-s-secp256k1jni" % "0.0.4"
"org.bitcoins" %% "bitcoin-s-core" % "0.0.4" withSources() withJavadoc()
"org.bitcoins" %% "bitcoin-s-bitcoind-rpc" % "0.0.4" withSources() withJavadoc()
"org.bitcoins" %% "bitcoin-s-eclair-rpc" % "0.0.4" withSources() withJavadoc()
"org.bitcoins" %% "bitcoin-s-testkit" % "0.0.4" withSources() withJavadoc()
"org.bitcoins" %% "bitcoin-s-zmq" % "0.0.4" withSources() withJavadoc()
```
### Ammonite
> Ammonite is (among other things) a modernized Scala REPL with syntax highlighting, multi-line editing, the ability to load artifacts directly in the REPL, and many other quality-of-life improvements missing in the default Scala REPL.
>
> Ammonite is a project by Li Haoyi, and you can get it at [ammonite.io](https://ammonite.io)
With Ammonite, this can be done like this:
```scala
@ import coursier.MavenRepository
import coursier.MavenRepository
@ interp.repositories() ++= Seq(MavenRepository("https://dl.bintray.com/bitcoin-s/bitcoin-s-core"))
@ import $ivy.`org.bitcoins::bitcoin-s-core:0.0.4`
import $ivy.$
@ import org.bitcoins.core.currency.Bitcoins
import org.bitcoins.core.currency.Bitcoins
@ Bitcoins(10)
res0: Bitcoins = BitcoinsImpl(10) // 🎉
```
This is only necessary one time, Ammonite remembers your resolvers across sessions.
### Published artifacts
Versioned artifacts are available online.
Snapshots (not necessarily stable, use for local development) are available at
[JFrog](https://oss.jfrog.org/webapp/#/artifacts/browse/tree/General/oss-snapshot-local/org/bitcoins).
Tagged versions are available at [Bintray](https://bintray.com/beta/#/bitcoin-s/bitcoin-s-core?tab=packages).
