Clarify README intro to describe the compiler toolchain and split ion-compiler from ion-build.
The old lead called the repo a transpiler and implied a single tool always compiles C; the new text matches how the binaries actually work.

# Ion Compiler
22

3-
A source-to-source transpiler from Ion to C. Ion is transpiled to human-readable C, then compiled with a C compiler.
3+
A compiler toolchain for Ion with a C code generation backend. `ion-compiler` emits human-readable C; `ion-build` transpiles, compiles with GCC or Clang, and links the runtime into an executable.
