Document features #71
Description
This crate makes use of features so that "you don't pay for what you don't use" and to support no_std while allowing for extensions that require the standard library. This is good, but it can be beginner unfriendly. The readme should include a brief overview of the features this crate provides with a beginner friendly presentation.

Sure, would you like to write that up? The current features are:
stdenables the full standard library (on by default)bigint-stdenablesBigRationalusingstd(on by default)bigintenablesBigRationalusing justcoreandalloc(requires Rust 1.36+)serdeimplementsDeserializeandSerialize for Ratio<T>Technically, cargo will accept
num-bigintas a feature here too for the optional dependency, but it doesn't actually enable anything innum-rational. I'm now thinking we should simplify that one -- package renaming can let us have justbigintand our addedbigint-std, or we can go the other way to fullnum-bigintand add explicitnum-bigint-stdinstead.

Sure, a PR to improve docs would be welcome!
