Issue body
### What needs to get done
The README is incomplete, and we should be harmonizing all of them across craft projects.
For now, we can rewrite it using the template in https://github.com/canonical/starbase/issues/233, and leave the build section blank while @sergiusens polishes it.
Depends on https://github.com/canonical/starbase/issues/233.
### Why it needs to get done
Improves contributor documentation.
