  Reposition README's opening to highlight UER-py's specific niche

  Why:

  CURRENT

  UER-py (Universal Encoder Representations) is a toolkit for pre-training on general-domain corpus and fine-tuning on downstream task. UER-py maintains model modularity and supports research extensibility. It facilitates the use of existing pre-training models, and provides interfaces for users to further extend upon. With UER-py, we build a model zoo which contains pre-trained models of different properties. **See the UER-py project Wiki for full documentation**. <br/> <br/> **🚀** We have open-sourced the TencentPretrain, a refactored new version of UER-py. TencentPretrain supports multi-modal models and enables training of large models. If you are interested in text models of medium size (with parameter sizes of less than one billion), we recommend continuing to use the UER-py project.

  UER-py (Universal Encoder Representations) is a comprehensive PyTorch framework and model zoo specifically designed for efficient pre-training and fine-tuning of various NLP models, particularly for text models of medium size (with parameter sizes of less than one billion). It offers a modular toolkit for researchers and developers to easily implement and extend state-of-the-art transformer architectures like BERT, GPT, and more. For full documentation, see the UER-py project Wiki. For larger or multi-modal models, consider TencentPretrain, a refactored new version of UER-py.

  ## UER-py vs. Other Frameworks 
   While frameworks like Hugging Face Transformers offer broad model support, UER-py focuses on providing a highly modular and extensible toolkit for researchers and developers working with medium-sized NLP models. Our emphasis is on facilitating rapid experimentation and extension of pre-training and fine-tuning tasks within the Universal Encoder Representations (UER) framework.

  Ensure 'Universal Encoder Representations' is consistently emphasized

  Why:

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  Review the 'Features' section and other key areas to ensure 'Universal Encoder Representations' and the unique aspects of the UER framework are clearly articulated as a core benefit, beyond just the initial definition. For example, add a bullet point under 'Features' like: '- **UER Framework Focus:** Built around the Universal Encoder Representations (UER) framework, offering unique modularity and extensibility for research.'
