Variables and Operators: Improve lesson

Because

Lesson could see some improvement. This is the first lesson where learners are introduced to javascript. It should be a lot more beginner-friendly

A lot of these changes are subjective. Feel free to suggest certain changes to be reverted.

Grouped / removed many points in the Learning outcomes
- I believe the current list is too long and could be intimidating to someone who has never heard about javascript before
Added a few examples here and there
Removed paragraph talking about the fact that JS can be run outside of browser
- Learners wouldn't even know that it is possible to do so. Adds unnecessary complexity in my opinion
Lesson overview items are now statements instead of questions
Instructions on how to open the dev tools are improved
Moved many things to assignment
Removed an additional resource relating to var
- learners would not know about scope, functions or control flow at this point
Many other small improvements
