refactor: streamline README and enhance project visibility
Updated the project documentation and .gitignore for a cleaner structure and enhanced visibility. The README now integrates dynamic badges for real-time status like support links, PyPI version, and latest commit info, offering a quick overview of the project status at a glance. These changes aim to make the project more accessible to potential contributors and users by providing essential information more efficiently. Additionally, the `.gitignore` file has been updated to include the `dist/` directory, preventing the accidental inclusion of distribution files in the repository, thus maintaining a cleaner project structure.

The restructuring of the README content, including a simplified approach to setting up development and production environments, aligns with best practices, making it easier for new contributors to get started. Furthermore, the changes enhance project documentation coherence and readability by embedding relevant badges and updating linkage paths for better navigation.
