docs: update README with balanced documentation and embedded SVG examples

Replace tutorial-heavy documentation with balanced coverage of all features.
Include embedded SVG examples that showcase core functionality.

- Reorganize Quick Start section with 4 equal feature areas
- Add SVG examples for basic usage, interactivity, styling, and tutorials
- Balance API documentation between all component capabilities
- Include practical code examples for each major feature
- Generate placeholder SVGs with professional appearance
- Add examples directory with generated SVG files and usage guide
