[DOCS] Clarifications for first time users (#1281)
* docs(docker): Clarify where the configuration is

The docs move from installation with Docker straight to modifying the configuration
without detailing where those files are.

* docs(start): Defining comments is discracting

This one is squarely me with my editor's red pen, do what you will. I whole heartedly
agree with this statement about comments and the intention (I assume) to encourage new
users to comment their configurations early and often. I just think this isn't the right
place for it and makes this document less focused and effective.

* docs(start): Less technical YAML key description

* docs(intro): Update and clarify goals/motivation

To help calibrate our collaboration, I went uninhibited with these changes including:

- assumptions about history I don't actually know:
  "this project was one of the early entrants"
- description of the yt-dlp/ytdl-sub division of labor I'm not actually certain about
- max opinion, both about this project and the domain in general
- max cheeky/fun writing tone, with the intention of being personable
- max editor's red pen, cut mercilessly

IOW, review carefully and reject early and often to help me submit future changes that
require less review and revision. To that end, give me more rather than less feedback on
this change in particular.

I include an endorsement of Pinchflat because [they do the same for
ytdl-sub](https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchflat?tab=readme-ov-file#what-it-does). It
would be my next choice if ytdl-sub couldn't meet my needs or vanquished me.  More
than that link, in other Reddit comments and the like, the Pinchflat author clearly
expresses preference for ytdl-sub as their own "next option".

[DOCS] Begin complete overhaul of readthedocs (#847)
Readthedocs for ytdl-sub is getting a massive overhaul to both look and read like a modernized app. It is still very-much work-in-progress, stay tuned for more!

Huge thanks to @Svagtlys (aka Momo) for driving this
