docs: align README with AIDE positioning

[charliegillet]

Summary

Aligns the GitHub README with RocketRide's new AIDE (AI Integrated Development Environment) brand positioning, matching the manifesto and the rocketride.org website copy. Targeted edits only, the document structure is unchanged.

• Hero: leads with what AIDE is (the environment for everything after the code: models, pipelines, memory, guardrails) and adds an IDE-to-AIDE evolution line. Frames AIDE as additive to the IDE, not a replacement (AIDE is still a VS Code / Cursor extension today).
• Description: leads with running and controlling AI in production rather than building pipelines, keeps the C++ runtime / node / provider specifics as supporting proof, and states model-independence as a principle.
• Footer: adds "Anyone can build AI. AIDE is how businesses run it."
• Language pass: scrubbed em-dash connectors from the Features and Contributors sections per the brand language rules.

What did NOT change

• No technical claims were altered. The 13 LLM providers / 8 vector databases figures were verified against the node services.json manifests (classType: ["llm"] and ["store"]).
• Quick Start, Building Your First Pipe, Observability, the Docker commands, and the badges are untouched.

Test plan

• README renders correctly on github.com (verified locally with grip)
• All banner/screenshot images and badges still resolve
• No em-dashes remain in prose

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated product messaging and branding to reflect AIDE's IDE integration and AI capabilities.
  • Revised feature descriptions highlighting pipeline builder, C++ runtime, multi-agent workflows, and deployment capabilities.
  • Added clarifying statement on AI product positioning.

Inline comments:
In `@README.md`:
- Line 14: The sentence "Your IDE is evolving. AIDE starts where you already
work, in VSCode and Cursor, and extends to the AI stack that runs in
production." uses the incorrect product spelling "VSCode"; update that phrase to
"VS Code" so it reads "in VS Code and Cursor" and ensure other README
occurrences match the same "VS Code" spelling for consistency.
