  Reposition the README's opening paragraph to emphasize unified AI services on Spark

  Why:

  CURRENT

  # Synapse Machine Learning
  
  SynapseML (previously known as MMLSpark), is an open-source library that simplifies the creation of massively scalable machine learning (ML) pipelines. SynapseML provides simple, composable, and distributed APIs for a wide variety of different machine learning tasks such as text analytics, vision, anomaly detection, and many others. SynapseML is built on the Apache Spark distributed computing framework and shares the same API as the SparkML/MLLib library, allowing you to seamlessly embed SynapseML models into existing Apache Spark workflows.

  ## Key Differentiators
  
  SynapseML's core differentiator is its broad and unified integration of diverse, state-of-the-art machine learning frameworks, deep learning tools, and cloud AI services (particularly Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services) directly into Apache Spark. Unlike Spark MLlib, which focuses on foundational ML algorithms, SynapseML extends Spark with advanced capabilities for computer vision, deep learning, and text analytics, offering a more comprehensive platform than specialized libraries like Horovod or Spark NLP alone.
