  Create a dedicated 'Why VectorChord?' or 'Comparison' section in the README

  Why:

  CURRENT

  To efficiently store vectors while preserving search quality, VectorChord applies RaBitQ[^1] compression together with autonomous reranking. With VectorChord, you can store 400,000 vectors for just $1, enabling significant savings: 6x more vectors compared to Pinecone's optimized storage and 26x more than pgvector/pgvecto.rs for the same price.

  Add a new section, for example:
  
  ## Why VectorChord?
  
  VectorChord offers significant advantages for scalable, cost-effective vector search in PostgreSQL:
  
  - **Unmatched Cost-Efficiency:** Store 400,000 vectors for just $1, achieving 6x more vectors than Pinecone's optimized storage and 26x more than pgvector/pgvecto.rs for the same price.
  - **Billion-Scale Ready:** Designed for the Billion-Scale Era, hosting 100M vectors on a single i4i.xlarge and scaling seamlessly to 1B+.
  - **Advanced Compression:** Utilizes RaBitQ compression and autonomous reranking for efficient storage while preserving search quality.
