Updated README (#3)

* Updated README.md

Added a bit of formatting, some links, and the PAPI logo.

Information on contributing and developing expansions still needs to be added, but that could possibly be added into the Wiki?

* Updated README.md

Added link to the logo image, and moved CI link to the end of the file.

# PlaceholderAPI
[![PlaceholderAPI Logo](https://i.imgur.com/Ea4PURv.png)][spigot]
PlaceholderAPI is a library that allows servers to use placeholders from a wide range of your favorite plugins, such as
Essentials, Factions, LuckPerms, Vault, AutoSell, GriefPrevention, and many more!
You can display information from your favorite plugins in any plugin that supports PlaceholderAPI.
Through the use of the Expansion cloud, PAPI effectively and efficiently allows you to pick and choose which placeholders you want to install.
The Expansion cloud allows you to receive new placeholders, updates to existing placeholder expansions, and much more directly from your server
without updating the actual plugin. With over 100,000 downloads, PlaceholderAPI is a must have for a server of any type or scale.

# Information
[PlaceholderAPI][spigot] is a plugin for Spigot servers that allows server owners to display information from various plugins with a uniform format.
<!--
It'd be cool to include more information here
in the future, such as how to contribute, how
to build, documentation? (wikis aren't enabled
as of writing this), etc. I know there are people
with brighter imaginations than me here
--->
Support for specific plugins are provided either by the plugin itself or through expansions. The expansions may be downloaded in-game through the PAPI Expansion Cloud. There are currently over 100 expansions that support a wide variety of plugins, such as Essentials, Factions, LuckPerms, and Vault.
PlaceholderAPI has been downloaded over 100,000 times and has been used concurrently on over 10,000 servers, which makes it a must-have for a server of any type or scale.
