This PR makes the README a bit easier to read in plain text, and also replaces the large type conversion bullet-lists with charts. This makes it easier to tell what types map to what at a glance.

Note regarding some of the content in Motivation: The WASM anyref proposal seems to have been merged: https://github.com/WebAssembly/reference-types/issues/140#issue-1043423653. How does that affect this README (or project)?

Just a heads up - this is fairly significant change, I'll take somewhat longer to get around and review it.

The paragraphs are mostly the same, just refitted to match the usual 80-character width limit. And I moved the URLs out to make the plaintext nicer on the eyes.

Otherwise yes, the Type Tables are totally new.

Note regarding some of the content in Motivation: The WASM anyref proposal seems to have been merged:

About this - the proposals definitely had lots of forks & renames since that was written. Now it's interface types that in theory should alleviate that cost, but I'd rather just remove that sentence altogether and not promise anything at this point :)

I will return to this soon.

I'm going to change the main text to what the official wasm-bindgen guide has now that serde-wasm-bindgen is the official approach, but want to keep the table and your credits, so I'll merge this PR first. Thanks for your work!

Thanks!
