Closes #288

What

Adds a clear before / after comparison so the package's value is obvious at first glance:

Before — default Umbraco block cards After — with BlockPreview
plain labelled cards ("Hero", "Two Column Section", "Image"…) blocks rendered as real HTML in the backoffice

Why

Per #288, the only existing visual was a single image labelled "before and after", which mixed both states into one picture and read as confusing/wrong. New adopters couldn't quickly tell what the package does. This surfaces it immediately.

Notes

  • Screenshots captured from the Umbraco 17 test site (Home node) with previews off vs on.
  • Images live in .github/assets/preview-before.png and preview-after.png.
  • The README is the NuGet PackageReadmeFile, so the images use absolute raw.githubusercontent.com URLs pointing at v5/dev (matching the convention the existing assets use, and the branch this PR merges into) — so they resolve as soon as this is merged. They'll appear broken in the PR diff until then.
  • The old screenshot2.png is now unreferenced. I left it in place rather than delete an existing asset — happy to remove it in this PR if you'd prefer.

Adds a "See it in action" before/after comparison to the top of the
README so the package's value is visible immediately, and replaces the
confusing combined before/after image in docs/usage.md with the same
clear side-by-side pair.

- Before: the Block Grid editor as default labelled cards
- After: blocks rendered as real HTML in the backoffice

The README is the NuGet PackageReadmeFile so images need absolute URLs.
v5/dev is the branch this PR merges into and the one GitHub renders the
repo README from, so the images resolve as soon as this is merged.

The confusing combined before/after image is no longer referenced after
docs/usage.md was updated to the clear side-by-side pair.

Repoint the Umbraco Marketplace listing to the new rendered-blocks
preview and delete the outdated v13-era "Select view" screenshot.

The #317 cherry-pick brought URLs pinned to v5/dev; repoint the
preview-before/after images (README, usage, marketplace) at v6/dev so
the v6 branch references its own assets.
