Update README and documentation index page (#816)

* Add badges and update README and doc index

Observations:
* The PyPI version is still 1.8.0. This should probably be updated
separately.

* The Codecov report is still pointing at the `master` branch.
The badges are set to point to `main`. The Codecov settings need
to be updated accordingly.

* Update XGBoost link on doc index page

* Update XGBoost link in the README
