  Reposition README H1 and opening paragraph to emphasize core value

  Why:

  CURRENT

  Bert.cpp has been integrated into llama.cpp! See https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/5423 and the discussions
  
  Updated forks: iamlemec/bert.cpp  xyzhang626/embeddings.cpp
  
  # bert.cpp
  
  ggml inference of BERT neural net architecture with pooling and normalization from SentenceTransformers (sbert.net).
  High quality sentence embeddings in pure C++ (with C API).

  Add an explicit differentiator statement to the README's 'Description' section

  Why:

  CURRENT

  ## Description
  The main goal of `bert.cpp` is to run the BERT model using 4-bit integer quantization on CPU
  
  * Plain C/C++ implementation without dependencies
  * Inherit support for various architectures from ggml (x86 with AVX2, ARM, etc.)

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  ## Description
  Unlike general-purpose inference engines, bert.cpp is a dedicated, lightweight C++ library specifically for quantized BERT inference on CPU, offering a pure C/C++ implementation with minimal dependencies. The main goal of `bert.cpp` is to run the BERT model using 4-bit integer quantization on CPU
  
  * Plain C/C++ implementation without dependencies
  * Inherit support for various architectures from ggml (x86 with AVX2, ARM, etc.)
